At the Martini Silverstone meeting a week later the Falcons were uncatchable but diced merrily with each other, Pierpoint leading initially until clutch slip slowed him slightly but Muir and Hobbs scrapping mightily. They came together at Woodcote with a lap to go and Hobbs spun to resume without losing second place and, on the last lap, Muir's offside front tire burst and a furiously determined Hobbs found himself the winner after all, with Muir limping home second and Pierpoint third but Gardner toddling around swiftly enough to gain his class win. |
