Ted Moorat drove a BMW and diced for the lead with Albert Poon until his differential seized on the 47th lap. Albert Poon hit the sandbags at Moorish Hill but recovered to continue without losing his place. Albert Poon refuelled on lap 27 and should have had enough fuel to complete the race but his pit crew didn’t completely fill the tank.
The last lap started with Albert Poon in the lead, followed by John Macdonald and Harold Lee in that order. Albert Poon ran out of fuel at R bend just two corners before the finish and John Macdonald overtook him and took the chequered flag.
Harold Lee later told me that he pushed Albert Poon to the finish but, in retrospect, he must have pushed Albert Poon to the finish on his own
slowing down lap...
