Brian Muir just beat Gerry Birrell in the large saloon car race to make it a one-two victory for their Capri RS 2600s, Birrell's being the Kent/Frami Racing one from Belgium. The race for the smaller cars, run on an almost dry track, gave Jonathan Buncombe an easy win in the Longman Engineering Cooper S, while Rob Mason in Ken Costello's Mini also held off Vince Woodman's VMW Escort GT. By winning the 1-litre class again Bill McGovern moves into a clear lead in the Wiggins Teape Paperchase, for Dave Matthews crashed his Escort and thus spoilt his points record. |
