Individual sources for this event
Autosport 6 Apr 1972 pp18-19 (by David Phips). Motoring News 6 Apr 1972 pp4-5 (by 'MGD' Mike Doodson). Motor Sport May 1972 p500 (by 'ARM' Andrew Marriott). Sport Auto Mai 1972 pp22-25 (by Gérard Crombac). Autocourse 1972-73 pp136-137 (very brief report by Mike Kettlewell).
Just 12 cars were present: two Brabhams, two Lotus 72s, four BRMs, and four Marches: a works 721 for Peterson, Frank Williams' 721 for Pescarolo and 711 for Pace, and the ex-Beuttler 711 for Bueno. Neither Autosport nor Motoring News gave chassis numbers in most cases, but Pritchard and Sport Auto identified everything.
