The official Porsche team withdrew due to a strike in Germany, so Gurney and Bonnier were unable to race. Gurney even got the factory Lotus-BRM that was leased to Seidel’s team. #3 Marsh did not have his car available and #4 Lewis withdrew from the event, as did Salvadori, #6 and Schiller #8. Campbell-Jones, from Emeryson Cars, participated in practice, initially occupying #8, but raced with #4 Seidel’s Lotus. Bianchi would initially race with Porsche #14 prepared by Scuderia Venezia, but with the latter’s withdrawal he ended up racing with Walker’s Lotus #19, entered by the Nationale Belge Team.
