| Eagle drivers in GPL:
Ginther only took part in the Monte Carlo GP and failed to qualify. He retired and was replaced by McLaren, but McLaren was also driving for his own team.
Scarfiotti was given a one-off drive for his home GP.
Alan Pease bought the old Eagle-Climax and was a private entry in the Canadian GP.
AAR was intended as a two-car/two-driver team, though problems with engine supply prevented this on some occasions, and two cars were available for Zandvoort, but only one driver following Ginther's retirement.
The original GPL makes AAR a three car team, by including Gurney, Ginther and McLaren.
Eagle cars in GPL:
Although the Weslake V12 engined Eagle T1G first appeared at Monza in 1966, the team started the '67 season with the earlier Climax engined Eagle (AAR 101).
The Weslake V12 was back at Monaco for both cars (AAR 102 and 103).
A lighter Eagle (AAR 104) appeared at Zandvoort and was used exclusively by Gurney for the rest of the season (except at Mosport where 103 was used fitted with the titanium parts from 104).
By happy coincidence, McLaren's later car, the McLaren-BRM M5A has a shape similar to the Eagle, and was powered by a V12 engine. Some car-sets have taken the opportunity to use a red McLaren M5A skin for McLaren's car, though the game will still report it as an Eagle.
The Eagle modelled in GPL is the lighter AAR 104.
