Scope and Content

The 1967 Player’s 200, held on September 23, 1967, at Mosport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario, was the second round of the 1967 Can‑Am season and one of the early landmark races of the series. The event brought together the era’s most powerful Group 7 sports racers—massive‑horsepower, no‑rules prototypes that defined Can‑Am’s golden age. The field included top teams such as McLaren, Lola, and Chaparral, with drivers like Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme, John Surtees, and others battling for early championship momentum. The Player’s 200 is historically remembered as part of McLaren’s growing dominance in Can‑Am—1967 being the year the team began its famous “Bruce and Denny Show,” winning every race that season except one.
