With a cluster of new F1 projects all coming to fruition, the Spanish GP saw the largest number of F1 cars so far at a 3-litre F1 race. The entry list started with two-car teams from Lotus, Tyrrell, McLaren, Brabham, March, Ferrari, BRM, Shadow, Surtees, Williams and Lola. Then came single-car constructor teams Trojan, Hesketh and Amon, then third entries from McLaren and BRM, and a single privateer, Hexagon Racing, with a Brabham BT42. Bretscher Racing also arrived with a pair of Brabham BT42s for Silvio Moser, but he had been badly injured at the Monza 1000 km and did not take part. That brought total entries to 29, reducing to 28 with Moser's withdrawal. There were 25 starters. Brambilla was unable to start after an accident in practice, and both Belso and Edwards failed to qualify.
The Trojan and the Amon were participating in a World Championship race for the first time, so became the 24th and 25th marques of the 3-litre era and both narrowly qualified for the grid. The Lyncar and the Token had already participated in non-championship events, but were yet to appear at a GP, and the Maki had also been shown to the press. Eagle, Penske and Parnelli were all working on projects to appear later in the season, as was Wilson Fittipaldi.
The ten spare cars in Spain were allocated their own entry numbers: the five that were used being a Lola T370, a Marlboro-liveried McLaren M23, a Hesketh 308, Tyrrell 006/2 and a Surtees TS16; and the five that remained unused being a Lotus 72, a Brabham BT44 which stayed in the transporter, a Ferrari 312B3, the second Bretscher Brabham and a Yardley-liveried McLaren M23. Lyons said 38 were present, but this seems to add up to 39, which broke the previous record by four. Jenkinson also counted 39.
Various sources list an entry at #29 for Jorge de Bagration in a Surtees TS16. He is not listed or mentioned by Motoring News or Autosport, either in their previews or their race reports, nor by Motor Sport or Autocar or Sport Auto, despite all of these publications mentioning Silvio Moser's non-arrival. An image has been mocked up, purporting to show de Bagration's Surtees in the pitlane, and this appears on various websites, but it is a doctored image of Derek Bell's car at Monza later in the season. The only evidence for this entry is a story that de Bagration intended to enter before his sponsorship deal fell through, and even that assertion lacks documentary evidence.
The Motor Sport report and 'Notes on the cars' was a welcome return to form for Jenkinson, who reported the content of the paddock in great detail. It was his first Grand Prix report since the previous August, and since then Frank Williams had renamed his cars from IR/01 and IR/02 to FW/01 and FW/02. Unfortunately, Jenks had previously declared that IR/02 had become IR/03 when it was rebuilt on a new monocoque following Howden Ganley's accident at the 1973 German GP, so Jenks now decided that his "IR/03" should still be called IR/03 despite its renaming, not FW/02. At the Spanish GP, Williams introduced a new car called, naturally enough, FW/03. Jenks, having now painted himself into a corner, called it IR/04, adding "for what it is worth, the team's 'entrepreneur' has decided to renumber the cars FW/04 and FW/02". No he hadn't. Jenks would continue to befuddle the poor historian on this issue for some time to come, but this appears to have been the trigger for Jenkinson to develop a new way to describe a car where he did not agree with the constructor on the correct chassis number to use.
