Individual sources for this event
Autosport 31 May 1968 pp10-17. Motor Sport July 1968 pp605-606,608-609 and 'Notes on the cars at Monaco' on p610. Motoring News 30 May 1968 pp1,12-14. Speedworld International 1 Jun 1968 pp17-23. Motoring News had relatively little chassis identification information, but did mention that Pedro Rodriguez' BRM was 133-02, as the chassis of 01 had been creased at Jarama. Autosport and Motoring News both mentioned that Ken Sheppard's McLaren did not turn up, and Motor Sport listed that car as #20. Ten drivers were guaranteed a start, including Ludovico Scarfiotti and Dan Gurney who were slowest in qualifying, and the remaining eight had to fight for six starting places. Autosport and Motor Sport both mentioned that a second MS11 was present; MS and SWI listed the car raced as MS11-02 but AS did not clarify and MN offered no information. The Lotus 49s had acquired large rear spoilers and front canard wings, as F1's blossoming interest in aerodynamics continued.
