Some old photos.

Bruce McLaren, 1966, the first attempt at using wings. Quickly banned after a few crashes!:

Most likely early 1969 than 1966. And the first wings were intruduced in 1968.
The first ones were smaller, as you can see on this Ferrari 312 driven by Chris Amon at Zandvoort :

You are right, it was a small typo from my side. Of course F1 changed a lot in 1967, with the introduction of sponsors, wings and the Cosworth V8 engine.

Great shots!

You cannot beat the overal atmosphere as seen on the pics above! The good days of racing, when men had hair on their chest

Hard to believe how dangerous that place was in those days... Look at all the people behind the hay bales and the very low and basically useless guard rail..

From a current perspective it´s unbelievable how racing changed concerning safety. I recently found this clip and I used to watch this when it was on, but can hardly look at it today: those people at/on the track give me the creeps...

Those Ferrari-dinner and icecream shots are priceless!!!

Two Ferrari's 250TRI/61 (#26 and race winner #23), A Dino 246S (#35), a dino 246 SP (#34) and a Dino 248 SP (#36), together with a pair of 250 SWB you will get close to that number at least. If the SWB's are both the lightweight versions even more! The 250 GTO that the NART also entered isn't even in this photo....
