The was the 18th
FIA Formula One World Championship season. It commenced on
January 2 ,
1967 , and ended on
October 22 after eleven races.
At the Dutch Grand Prix, Lotus unveiled the new Ford-sponsored
Cosworth DFV engine which was to be one of the outstanding racing engines of all time, winning 155 grand prix, Le Mans and Indianapolis. Although
Jim Clark won four races,
Denny Hulme took the title by virtue of his greater consistency. At Monza, Clark pitted to replace a tyre, made up a lap to retake the lead, only to run out of fuel on the last lap; a drive that confirmed his status as one of the all-time greats.
Dan Gurney 's Eagle won its only victory, and
Pedro Rodríguez gave Cooper their last win in a dramatic South African Grand Prix in which local driver
John Love came close to victory in his outdated Cooper-Climax.
