The race was run over two heats of 10 laps of the circuit, then a final of 30 laps, and was won overall by Jack Brabham in a Brabham-Repco BT20. The race was organised by the Mid-Cheshire Motor Racing Club in order to raise funds for the Grand Prix Medical Unit, inaugurated by BRM chairman Louis Stanley as an indirect result of Jackie Stewart's accident at the 1966 Belgian Grand Prix. All prize money, start money and gate money were donated to the fund. The grid positions for the first heat were decided by a qualifying session, and the grid for the second heat was determined by the finishing order of the first heat. Similarly, the finishing order for the second heat decided the grid order for the final.Jenkinson Denis Denis Jenkinson International Sprint Cup Meeting http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/may-1967/30/international-spring-cup-meeting Motor Sport 380–381 XLIII 5 May 1967 1 March 2024 Jackie Stewart qualified his BRM in pole position for the first heat.
