There's some info on the Jacky Ickx fansite (try Google). IIRC they used Ford Escorts.

Race was organized by Bob Harper,Teddy Yip was the 'local hero' Race won by Jacky Ickx from Bobby Unser. Jackie Stewart stated that he had no intention of breaking his vow never to RACE again,but took a car out in practice and rolled it!
The video I have is on a tape with the 1976 British GP,produced by Formula One Films. Must have been one of the first I bought after acquiring a VCR in 1982. Patrase fans might be interested that it has a brief clip of him wining the actual Macau GP.
