No, only 2 cars were entered and turned up for the Keith Duckworth Trophy, so there wasn't a lot of point. Simon Hadfield, whose team prepared Frank Sytner's Penske PC3/02 (the 'other' entrant to turn up) expressed his disappointment that we couldn't acknowledge Duckworth's achievements with a good turn out but did point out that many of the eligible cars would be TGP cars which were being prepared for, if not already on their way to Valencia for the final TGP round. The Tyrrell 012 was that of Geoff Farmer who did some demonstration laps later on in the day just before the WHT final.
I agree with Simon about this issue and hope that such a race can be held in the not too distant future. It's a great idea but, on this occasion was probably found wanting in the 'timing' department!
