Car info:
Roy Salvadori won this race easily, leading from the start and steadily increasing that lead throughout the race. Graham Hill made a bad start in the wet conditions and was held up by slower cars in the initial stages. At the end of the first lap he was sixth but by the fifth tour he was third and four laps later he was second, which was where he finished the race. A large group of Jaguars followed this pair, comprising Peter Dodd, Mike Salmon, Bill Aston, Chris McLaren and John Sparrow. Then came Mick Clare in his preposterously fast Mini, Peter Harper (Sunbeam), Peter Procter (Sunbeam), John Whitmore (Mini) and Mike Pendleton (Jaguar). |
