You were there: Crystal Palace F2 London Trophy
This is where London was swinging in the ’60s. It was more about Minis than miniskirts at Crystal Palace, where John Marsh attended the 1968 Formula 2 London Trophy race, luckily for us taking his camera along
Jochen Rindt topped the event in his Brabham BT23C after two heats and the final, heading Brian Redman and Clay Regazzoni
Ferrari mechanics try to sort gearbox problems which would hamper Jackie Ickx in the heats
After struggling with his gear change, Ickx was knocked out of the final in a start-line shunt
Jackie Oliver rolls out his Lotus 48, equipped with the Cosworth FVA that powered the entire grid bar the Ferraris
A broken wheel on his Gold Leaf Lotus put Graham Hill out of the final. Only six finished
Minis at full stretch at North Tower corner in the BSCC race. Note the very eager flag marshal standing on the bank
Alex Soler-Roig, who went out in a crash which wrapped the monococque of his Lola T100 “in a knot”
Forming up on the grid in front of a packed crowd; the Palace was easier to get to for a London fan than Brands Hatch or Oulton Park
