Notes on the cars:
- Brabham BT21B [BT21-18] (Richard Dobson): New to Frank Lythgoe Racing, and raced by Alan Rollinson in British F3 in 1967, and by Dave Berry on a couple of occasions after Rollinson acquired a newer BT21 in June. Subsequent history unknown, but may be the car raced by Richard Dobson and Barry Hopwood as a Formula Ford in 1972.
