photo,
Brabham leads as the
pair brakes for Turn 7. Brabham drives the "finless" car owned by
Hap Sharp.
McLaren's Cooper
is a factory entry. Brabham won the race, McLaren was 2nd.
This battle presaged an
equally close contest a week later at Laguna Seca between Stirling
Moss & Dan Gurney in Lotus Mk.19 cars. Moss won that struggle,
with Brabham & McLaren finishing 3rd and 4th.
At Riverside, both Moss
& Gurney were slowed by mechanical problems.
