The 1967 Belgian Grand Prix takes place at the beautiful, but very challenging, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.
Riding for Factory Suzuki, reigning World Champion Hans-Georg Anscheid wins the 50cc Class while Britain's Bill Ivy takes the 250cc Class, (there was no 125cc Class at the Belgium GP in '67), aboard a works Yamaha. The Italian racing legend Giacomo Agostini* would once again battle Britain's Mike Hailwood** to win the 500cc Class, (no 350cc Class at the '67 BGP), enroute to his second consecutive World Championship.
*Giacomo Agostini would end his career with a mind-boggling eight 500cc Class World Championships for MV Augusta.
** Mike Hailwood would win only four 500cc World Championships for Honda but, they pulled out of GP racing in 1968 so the mind wonders...
Hailwood also seemed to own Isle of Man, claiming TT victory fourteen times.
