The Nordschleife had been modified to slow down the Grand Prix cars in 1967, but Jim Clark proved that the modifications did little to drop the pace of the new equipment. Formula Two would once again be invited to the Grand Prix of Germany, and the headlines were almost set by one of their contingent during qualifying. Young Belgian racer Jacky Ickx set a stunning time with his Matra-Ford Cosworth to claim third on the grid, only just edged out by Denny Hulme in second. Yet, both would be denied pole, and the headlines, by a stunning lap from Clark, with the Scot taking pole by almost ten second. Unfortunately, the chance to start on the front row would be denied to Ickx, who had to start at the back of the field with the rest of his F2 colleagues. At the start it was Clark who went streaking into the lead, a stark contrast to teammate Graham Hill who was sent spinning on the run onto the Nordschleife. Clark would battle with Hulme and Dan Gurney for the lead during the opening stages, although the Scot's race would be run as early as lap four with a suspension failure. Hulme therefore inherited the lead with Gurney and Bruce McLaren taking over the podium positions, while Ickx put together a stunning series of laps to rise as high as fifth overall. When Jackie Stewart retired there was a serious chance of Ickx finishing on the podium, with the Belgian harassing the back of Jack Brabham for third. Soon, Chris Amon managed to muscle his way past the impressive youngster, with Ickx remaining in the top five until he retired with a suspension failure. The final laps were also attritional for the Grand Prix cars, with Gurney missing out on a certain podium with a driveshaft failure. That left Hulme on his own to win from Brabham and Amon, a significant feat achieved by the Antipodean trio in denying a British driver a podium for the first time since the 1962 French Grand Prix. John Surtees would be the best Brit in fourth, ahead of the first of the F2 racers in the form of Jackie Oliver, while Jo Bonnier and Guy Ligier collected the final points.
