Help identifying a racing car - Singapore 1967

[WH16]

A bit of a long shot granted but PH often surprises. Any ideas on the car? It is a photo my father took during a visit between deployments.




It seems there was a GP there in '67, but I can't find any entry lists or results.

Doesn't look right to me, but I'm no expert! Looks more like a Brabham BT11A if I search the 67 season, mirrors mounted onto the clear windscreen rather than the body.

Happy to be corrected.

I don't know if this helps.

ETA: beaten to it!

No nearer identifying the car but came across a video of the 1967 gp.

Quite a mix of types there. Looks more like a track day.

The driver of car number 46 in the main Grand Prix event of the 1967 Singapore Grand Prix was Cheung Chin Ming of Hong Kong.
He was driving a Lotus 23 with a Ford engine.
In the separate Sports & GT race held during the event, a car with number 46 was assigned to an Allan Moffat, driving a Falcon GTHO in a different event/year mentioned in forum discussions, which is not the main Grand Prix race itself. The main Grand Prix winner, driving a different car number, was Rodney Seow in a Merlyn-Ford.

The car number 46 in the 1967 Singapore Grand Prix was a Brabham-Repco driven by the New Zealander driver Jack Brabham. He finished the race in second place behind the winner, Rodney Seow. So Google says... It's the car pictured above - the BT11.

Hahahaha - yes, I had several different results too. I went with the Brabham result as the car matched.

ETA I also considered why your father might have taken the photo - was he a fan of Cheung Chin Ming or Jack Brabham?

Anyway - cant get over the cars in that GP - Crazy - but probably quite a bit of fun
