In 1967 the racing calendar was streamlined again. The Ollon-Villars race was the only hill climb to retain its world championship status. It was the last hill climb in the history of the championship that had this status. Ten of the 14 races were for prototypes , sports cars and GT cars .
The season started with two races in the United States . The Daytona 24-hour race ended with a Ferrari triple success. Lorenzo Bandini and Chris Amon won on a plant - Ferrari 330P4 front of their team and model colleague Mike Parkes and Ludovico Scarfiotti . Third place went to Pedro Rodríguez and Jean Guichet in the North American Racing Team reported 412P . The following Sebring 12 hour race was won by Bruce McLaren and Mario Andretti in the new Ford GT40 Mk. IV . Ferrari stayed away from the race.
In the first race of the season in Europe, the 1000 km race in Monza , Ferrari extended its lead in the world championship with the second win of the season. The victory of the Mirage M1 , driven by Jacky Ickx and Dick Thompson , in the 1000 km race in Spa-Francorchamps was followed by two Porsche victories. Paul Hawkins and Rolf Stommelen in the Porsche 910/8 won the Targa Florio and Udo Schütz and Joe Buzzetta won the 1000 km race on the Nürburgring . The decision for the title came at the tenth round of the year, the 6-hour race at Brands Hatch . With Jackie Stewart and Chris Amon in second place in the 330P4 Spyder, Ferrari won the prototype title by two points over Porsche, whose third place at Brands Hatch fell out of the ranking as a result of being discarded.
