The
F1 cars attracted a lot of attention over the weekend.
The John Watson and Jacky Ickx cars never competed in
the races. The Ickx car was used during a parade. Wally
Branston, the flagman for the 1967 Grand Prix of Canada,
was on hand to wave the flag to start the feature race
on Sunday afternoon. He also waved the checkered.
