Yet another race at Brands Hatch; a win for Sears here, but the man of the race was Shepherd, taking second place and outclassing four Jaguars in the process. At first, Shepherd was fourth behind Sears, Powell and Parness; but by lap 3 Shepherd was closing in on both of them, with Powell (3.4 Jaguar) and Hill (Speedwell Mini) in fifth and sixth, followed by Young in the Anglia. Both Volvos were in trouble, Parkes retired in the first lap so the other works Sunbeam Rapier won the 1600 cc class.
Hill retired with engine problems, and Parness went into the grass trying to fend off Shepherd, who went by. He went on to attack Powell’s Jaguar, and finally beat him in the last lap.
