The '''1967 Belgian Grand Prix''' was a [[Formula One]] motor race held at [[Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps|Spa-Francorchamps]] on 18 June 1967.<ref name=formula1.com /> It was race 4 of 11 in both the [[1967 World Championship of Drivers]] and the [[1967 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers]]. The 28-lap race was won by [[Anglo American Racers|Eagle]] driver [[Dan Gurney]] after he started from second position. [[Jackie Stewart]] finished second for the [[British Racing Motors|BRM]] team and [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] driver [[Chris Amon]] came in third. |
|||
Excluding the [[Indianapolis 500]], this is the only win for a USA-built car as well as one of only two wins of an [[List of Formula One constructors#Team's nationality|American-licensed]] constructor in Formula One.<ref name="allamericanracers.com">{{Cite web |url=http://allamericanracers.com/gurney_grand-prix/eagle_f1-story.html |title=Eagle Eye: The Eagle Gurney-Weslake F1 Effort |access-date=2012-08-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022150820/http://www.allamericanracers.com/gurney_grand-prix/eagle_f1-story.html |archive-date=2012-10-22 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>[[Team Penske|Penske]] achieved a victory at the [[1976 Austrian Grand Prix]] having raced with an American licence, but the car was built at the British base in [[Poole]]. Though American-owned, the British-based [[Shadow Racing Cars|Shadow]] achieved a victory at the [[1977 Austrian Grand Prix]] having raced with a British licence.</ref> It was also the first win for an American constructor in a [[Grand Prix motor racing|Grand Prix]] race since the [[Jimmy Murphy (racing driver)|Jimmy Murphy]]'s triumph with [[Duesenberg]] at the [[1921 French Grand Prix]]. |

== Race report == |
|||
[[Jim Clark]] led off the grid from pole position and maintained that position for the first 11 laps and was 20 seconds ahead of [[Jackie Stewart]] and [[Dan Gurney]] when he had to come into the pits for a plug change, which cost him two minutes. Stewart built up a comfortable lead, helped even further when Gurney had to come into the pits with fuel pressure problems, losing another 20 seconds. However, it was now Stewart's time for mechanical problems as his gearshift was faltering. Gurney set a new lap record to catch and pass him 8 laps from the end and gain a maiden victory for the beautiful magnesium and titanium [[Anglo American Racers|Eagle]] car. The light weight and advanced aerodynamics of the car made it very fast, and Gurney shattered [[Tony Brooks (racing driver)|Tony Brooks]]' record Grand Prix average of 143 mph (set some 8 years earlier) on his way to victory. The Eagle was timed at 196 mph on the back straight, an extraordinary speed for a car with an engine producing (at that time) something less than 400 h.p. |
|||
[[Mike Parkes]] had a horrendous crash on the first lap at the exit of Blanchimont after losing control (on oil spilled from Stewart's BRM); his Ferrari rolled a number of times and he was thrown out of the car. Doctors considered amputating his legs and he was in a coma for a week. He survived, but had broken both of his legs. Parkes never raced in Formula One again.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.imps4ever.info/algemeen/parkes.html|title=Mike Parkes - The Imp Site|last=Franka|website=www.imps4ever.info|access-date=12 October 2018}}</ref> |

*Fastest Lap: Dan Gurney 3'31.900 |
|||
* This was [[Dan Gurney]]'s fourth Formula One World Championship Grand Prix win and the third with a different team. Gurney became only the second driver to win a Grand Prix driving for his own team - after [[Jack Brabham]]. This was also the first win for his team [[All American Racers|Eagle]], for an [[United States|American]] constructor and for a [[Weslake]]-powered car. Gurney's win with Eagle was the third ''first'' win he achieved for the teams he drove for. At the [[1962 French Grand Prix]], Gurney had won [[Porsche in motorsport|Porsche]]'s first and only Grand Prix win. At the [[1964 French Grand Prix]], he won [[Brabham]]'s first Grand Prix win, only to win for the first time for Eagle now. |

The 1967 Belgian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Spa-Francorchamps on 18 June 1967.[1] It was race 4 of 11 in both the 1967 World Championship of Drivers and the 1967 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. The 28-lap race was won by Eagle driver Dan Gurney after he started from second position. Jackie Stewart finished second for the BRM team and Ferrari driver Chris Amon came in third.
Excluding the Indianapolis 500, this is the only win for a USA-built car as well as one of only two wins of an American-licensed constructor in Formula One.[2][3] It was also the first win for an American constructor in a Grand Prix race since the Jimmy Murphy's triumph with Duesenberg at the 1921 French Grand Prix.
Race report
[edit]Jim Clark led off the grid from pole position and maintained that position for the first 11 laps and was 20 seconds ahead of Jackie Stewart and Dan Gurney when he had to come into the pits for a plug change, which cost him two minutes. Stewart built up a comfortable lead, helped even further when Gurney had to come into the pits with fuel pressure problems, losing another 20 seconds. However, it was now Stewart's time for mechanical problems as his gearshift was faltering. Gurney set a new lap record to catch and pass him 8 laps from the end and gain a maiden victory for the beautiful magnesium and titanium Eagle car. The light weight and advanced aerodynamics of the car made it very fast, and Gurney shattered Tony Brooks' record Grand Prix average of 143 mph (set some 8 years earlier) on his way to victory. The Eagle was timed at 196 mph on the back straight, an extraordinary speed for a car with an engine producing (at that time) something less than 400 h.p.
Mike Parkes had a horrendous crash on the first lap at the exit of Blanchimont after losing control (on oil spilled from Stewart's BRM); his Ferrari rolled a number of times and he was thrown out of the car. Doctors considered amputating his legs and he was in a coma for a week. He survived, but had broken both of his legs. Parkes never raced in Formula One again.[4]

Notes
[edit]- This was Dan Gurney's fourth Formula One World Championship Grand Prix win and the third with a different team. Gurney became only the second driver to win a Grand Prix driving for his own team - after Jack Brabham. This was also the first win for his team Eagle, for an American constructor and for a Weslake-powered car. Gurney's win with Eagle was the third first win he achieved for the teams he drove for. At the 1962 French Grand Prix, Gurney had won Porsche's first and only Grand Prix win. At the 1964 French Grand Prix, he won Brabham's first Grand Prix win, only to win for the first time for Eagle now.
