The only change from the Argentine line-up was that Fittipaldi had to rapidly build chassis FD-02 to replace FD-01 crashed and burnt in the first race. Parnelli moved from its old Firestone tyres to Goodyears, but there were not many other changes. What was noteworthy was the number of key personnel staying away from Brazil, given its political instability.
