Amaroo: win number 8 for Richards, 7 in a row, a magnificent performance indeed though he only needed a handful of points to claim the championship. Johnson provided the opposition again, but again it just was not enough. Third was young Tony Longhurst in the JPS teams’ BMW 323, the first time he won his class.
