It was year of epic slipstreaming battles with the leading protagonists more popular than soccer heroes in their home countries. Wissell finished the year with six wins and six seconds in international events against Lotus 69s, March 693, and Brabham BT-21s. Only 15 Formula 3 cars were produced. An even smaller number (7) cars were built to U.S. Formula B and International Formula Libre spec.
