The idea for this race is that each of the FOCA teams would enter one car, and the remainder of the 20-car grid would be filled with F1 privateers. Lotus actually arrived with two entries; McLaren, Tyrrell, Brabham, March, Ferrari, BRM, Shadow, Surtees, Williams, Hill, Hesketh, Parnelli, Penske and Fittipaldi all had one each. The four privateers were numbered in the 50s, so no spectators might think they were part of the official circus: Lyncar, Ensign, Safir (Token) and Harry Stiller’s Hesketh.

Plenty of spare cars were present: a McLaren M23, Tyrrell 007, Brabham BT44B, Shadow DN5, Surtees TS16, Parnelli VPJ4 and Penske PC1.
