After a wet practice, race day was dry and sunny. The order in lap 1: Rouse, Hoy and Cleland with Middlehurst a surprise fourth. Hoy was overtaken by Cleland, and Harvey went by Middlehurst, but soon lost fourth again, and now Middlehurst started pushing Hoy, which wasn’t the way it should be - Harvey dared to to come too close to Hoy. Hoy decided to let the Sierra go, and Middlehurst now was on the tail of Cleland. Harvey and Palmer now got by Hoy, but it all looked nervous; when Ayles closed as well, Palmer waved Hoy through once again. Harvey, now freed of the pressure to help Hoy passed Middlehurst and was on his way to Cleland. But behind Rouse the group now consisted of eight (!) cars with Hoy still somewhere in the middle of it. Finally, Harvey passed and now Cleland was in trouble, having overcooked his tires.
With Rouse, Harvey and Middlehurst now clear of the group, the rest of the order was Cleland, Hoy, Leslie (in Sytner’s BMW), Palmer and Bristow with Leslie on the move: soon he took fifth from Hoy, while Harvey closed on Rouse. The group still was moving, with Leslie taking fourth and Palmer, having enough from protecting Hoy moved with him; the order was now Leslie, Palmer, Cleland and Hoy. Then it was Harvey who took the lead while Hoy passed Cleland, Palmer came to a halt (nearly collecting Hoy) - and Wilson rolled his Vauxhall after a nudge from Hall; it all happened at the same moment. Harvey won, Hoy was fifth and champion, while Cleland understeered to ninth.
