Starting grid of the French Grand Prix, Le Mans, 1967. The race was held for the first time at the new Bugatti au Mans circuit, which used the famous start/finish line of the classic 24 Hour Race circuit, but included a new section which was regarded by drivers and spectators alike as too twisty for exciting racing, leading many of the public to stay away. The race featured a one-two for the Brabham-Repco team, with Jack Brabham the winner ahead of his team-mate Denny Hulme, who went on to win the World Drivers' Championship.
