Individual sources for this event
Autosport 14 Jun 1968 pp8-15. Motor Sport July 1968 pp576-577. Motoring News 13 Jun 1968 pp1,14-16. Speedworld International 15 Jun 1968 pp16-23. As before, Autosport had the most detail, including clear identification of T cars, Motor Sport also identified all the race cars and T cars, Motoring News only gave limited chassis identification information, and Speedworld International gave all race car chassis numbers but large ignored T cars. Four entries numbers were unfilled, 4, 8, 9 and 21, but the only car mentioned as a non-arrivals was Dan Gurney's Eagle. The Brabham BT26s now had front spoilers not dissimilar to Lotus's, BRM continued with their stubby front spoilers, and Ferrari were experimenting with a bib under the nose of the 312/68.
