For this race the Forward Trust F3 runners found themselves mixed in with F Fords that hadn’t qualified for their main race.
Brian Henton as expected took the victory leading from flag to flag, this despite an off at Paddock during practice that saw him damage the radiator and a wheel on the works 743. Behind Henton there was a race long duel between José Espirito Santo’s March and Tony Rouff’s GRD, Rouff passed Santo during lap 9 only to loose the position again at Clearways, the two cars crossing the line 0.4 seconds apart. Nicholas von Preussen took a steady fourth whilst Dick Parsons did well to take sixth as he started from the pit road half a lap down on the rest of the field.
