The 1967 Formula One season was well underway when teams arrived at the Nürburgring for round seven. Track officials had made modifications to the circuit near the pit area to reduce car speeds, responding to concerns about the pace of modern Formula One machinery.
On 6 August 1967, the German Grand Prix was run over 15 laps at the Nürburgring, serving as a combined Formula One and Formula Two event. Brabham driver Denny Hulme started from second position and went on to claim victory, with teammate Jack Brabham finishing second and Ferrari's Chris Amon third.
Despite the track modifications intended to slow cars, lap times showed little improvement, demonstrating how significantly car performance had advanced in just twelve months. Hulme's victory added important championship points as he and Jack Brabham contested the 1967 Drivers' title.
