The 1968 European Formula Two season was contested over 10 rounds, according to some sources, or nine rounds, according to sources that do not consider the Zolder race in Belgium as part of the Championship. Jean Pierre Beltoise won the championship in Pergusa-Enna, despite the fact that Jochen Rindt won 5 races, but his condition as a Formula One graded driver did not let him score any championship points.[1]
