WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS (ABC, 2:30-4 p.m.). The Canadian Grand Prix from Mosport, Ont., with Formula One cars, is the first auto race for world-championship points to be televised live...
There are no pay-TV stations currently operating in the U.S. In fact, the only thing approaching pay television is closed-circuit presentations of heavyweight-championship boxing matches and the Indianapolis 500 auto race, both of which are shown in movie houses for $5 to $10 a seat.

In the most astonishing driving display in Grand Prix history, Jackie raced his 430-h.p. Matra-Ford M580 to victories in Spain, The Netherlands and France. He lost at Monte Carlo only after a faulty drive shaft forced him to drop out one-third of the way through the race...
