660-511: A Cooper- BMC and Cooper– Ford respectively. Hulme won the 1960 Gran Premio di Pescara for Formula Juniors, but the newspapers back in New Zealand made no mention of this, as they wrote only about Bruce McLaren.

1210-509: A creditable fourth in the championship with 27 points. Although Hulme would claim third place in the 1970 Mexican Grand Prix , the race was marred by the immense crowd of over 200,000.
