– Último año con salida “Le Mans”: La salida Le Mans consistía en que los pilotos se ponían en el lado opuesto de la calle y corrían hacia el coche, con la intención de arrancar lo antes posible, muchas veces ello provocaba accidentes. El último ganador, Jack Ickx se posiciona en contra del estilo de salida en esta edición no corriendo hacia el coche y caminando lentamente para salir, por tanto, en última posición, luego en la vuelta John Woolfe muere, se cree, por no llevar anclados correctamente los cinturones de seguridad. Tras ello se rompe con esta tradición.
