This race was held because at that time the FIA regulations required a demonstration race to be held as a quality check, before a Grand Prix could be admitted as a World Championship event. Due to the scheduling of the race, after the end of the World Championship season, few Formula One teams decided to participate. With only four Formula One cars entered, the field was filled out by Formula Two cars weighted with lead to bring them up to the Formula One weight limit.[1]
