Some cars came fresh from the ETCC race on Snetterton (last Friday) and were a bit tired perhaps. Elford’s Porsche had blown there and here a problem with the throttle link mechanism prevented a finish higher than 4th in class. Muir won outright with Hobbs second overall; Gardner won his class, with the FVA engine again after a swap for a TC engine at Snetterton - European rules being stricter than the British ones. |
