Notes drivers
  • Cooper was a two car/two driver team team (Rindt and Rodriguez), with the exception of the British GP when a third car was entered, a T81 driven by Alan Rees.
  • Rodriguez was out for three GPs due to injury.  He was replaced by Dick Attwood, then Jackie Ickx.
  • The original GPL makes Cooper a three car team, by including Ickx with Rindt and Rodriguez.  The Lo67 Season Fix removes Ickx.
  • The Cooper was also used by drivers in a number of privately entered teams.  Appearing the most regularly were Jo Siffert with Rob Walker's team and Jo Bonnier with his own team.  This is accurately reflected in the original GPL and Lo67 Season Fix.
Notes on cars
  • The team started the season with the previous season's Cooper-Maserati T-81s, powered by Maserati 3-litre V-12 24-valve engines.
  • The T-81B, the 1967 version of the T-81 (lightened and with a different gearbox), was introduced at Monaco.
  • The T-86, introduced at Silverstone, was lightened still further and fitted with a Maserati 36-valve V-12 engine.
  • From Monza on, the T-81B was also fitted with the 36-valve engine.  A modified 36-plug engine was fitted to the T86 at Watkins Glen, and this engine was also fitted in the T-81B raced at Mexico City.
  • Rees used T81 F1-3-66 at the British GP, entry number 14.
  • Guy Ligier used F1-4-66 (ex F1-7-66) for two GPs in 1967 (see Brabham page).
  • The Cooper modelled in GPL is the T-81B with the 36-valve engine.

Patches to improve the Cooper

The latest KOTR Cooper is a definite improvement on the Lo67 Cooper, both in shape and textures.  The only exception being the texture for Bonnier's T81.  I have an improved texture below.

The new KOTR Cooper is available here www.kotr.de/org/1967F1/Cooper/GPLEA_Coo67vi12.ZIP

Lo67 Bonnier's Cooper T81 Patch (for new KOTR Cooper)                   v 1.0   DOWNLOAD (6 KB)

Because the GPLSF patch is designed for use with the Lo67 Cooper T81 patch, I will keep the latter on the site for the time being.

Lo67 Cooper T81 Patch                                                                 v 1.1a   DOWNLOAD (197 KB)
Original GPL Coventry 19R This is the original GPL Coventry 19R.   This is a fictional car - a couple of white stripes is the only concession to the real-life Cooper.  Otherwise this car is pure Brabham!
Lo67 Cooper T81 The Lo67 Cooper car patch includes the Cooper car-shape (3DO) produced by KOTR (Joe Lafrite) and textures based on the same but heavily modified.  Includes the works cars of Rindt and Rodriguez.   (Ickx is also included for use without the Lo67 Season Fix)

 

Bonnier's Cooper T81 The patch also includes textures for Bonnier's and Siffert's privately entered T81s.

Photos of the interior of Bonnier's T-81 can be found here.
