Notes and References

  1. News: 1965 South African Grand Prix, Pre-Qualifying times. Autosport. 30 December 2016. Brian Raubenheimer is missing from this list, although he is shown as not arriving on most records. He has previously told me that he did briefly participate in the first practice session before the gear linkage broke in the gate in neutral. He believed he had recorded a 1:36.8, but was unable to repair his Lotus 20 and so took no further part..
