The engines provided by [[Cosworth]] were slower and inconsistent in performance; Rindt responded to his reduced pace by declaring: "Then I just brake two metres later."{{sfn|Giesser|2010}} He entered his first F2 race in April 1964 at the ''Preis von Wien'' at [[Aspern]], retiring from both heats.<ref>{{cite web|title=Preis von Wien (Austria)|url=http://jochenrindt.com/en/racing/preis-von-wien-austria/|website=jochenrindt.com|publisher=Natasha Rindt|access-date=14 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160114212907/http://jochenrindt.com/en/racing/preis-von-wien-austria/ |archive-date=14 January 2016}}</ref> The international motor racing world first took notice of him on 18 May 1964, when Rindt won the ''London Trophy'' race at the [[Crystal Palace circuit]] in a [[Brabham BT10]] ahead of [[Graham Hill]].<ref name=walitsch>{{cite web|last1=Walitsch|first1=Erich|title=Jochen Rindt β How do you become a racing driver?|url=http://jochenrindt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/JR-Biografie-GER1.pdf|website=jochenrindt.com|access-date=16 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160116152849/http://jochenrindt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/JR-Biography-Eng.pdf |archive-date=16 January 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=London Trophy (Brit)|url=http://jochenrindt.com/en/racing/london-trophy-brit/|website=jochenrindt.com|publisher=Natasha Rindt|access-date=16 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160116153033/http://jochenrindt.com/en/racing/london-trophy-brit/ |archive-date=16 January 2016}}</ref> Like many other drivers at the time, Rindt continued to race in Formula Two races alongside his duties in Formula One; his last F2 appearance was the ''Festspielpreis der Salzburg'' in August 1970.<ref>{{cite web|title=Festspielpreis der Salzburg (non-ch)|url=http://jochenrindt.com/en/racing/festspielpreis-der-salzburg-non-ch/|website=jochenrindt.com|publisher=Natasha Rindt|access-date=14 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160114213723/http://jochenrindt.com/en/racing/festspielpreis-der-salzburg-non-ch/ |archive-date=14 January 2016}}</ref> In 1967, he dominated Formula Two, winning nine races in his [[Brabham BT23]]. As an experienced Formula One driver, he was graded "A", meaning his results did not count towards the championship,<ref>{{cite journal|title=Further thoughts on Formula 2 |url=http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/may-1967/28/further-thoughts-formula-2 |journal=[[Motor Sport (magazine)|Motor Sport]] |issue=May 1967 |page=28 |access-date=14 November 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161114134053/http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/may-1967/28/further-thoughts-formula-2 |archive-date=14 November 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and the title went to [[Jacky Ickx]].{{sfn|Giesser|2010}} Still, his performances led him to be called "king of Formula 2" by the racing press. He had a long-standing relationship with Roy Winkelmann, and drove with his team until it closed at the end of 1969.<ref name=walitsch/>
