Fastest race lap times added for most competitors. Ray Armes is noted as "not given", meaning his transponder was out of order?

After the transporter problems at Silverstone, Dennis Leech managed to debut his RS500.

In Class B, Vauxhall fielded a second Cavalier for Chris Hodgetts- I think it was run in rwd form here- it was certainly off-the-pace. Nick Whale's Pyramid M3 returned after missing a round, as did Nettan Lindgren with no clashing Swedish race. The Bellm Sierra was absent
Leech still reported to have a lot of problems to finish 10th. From qualifying it's reported: Dennis Leech had a pretty torrid time on Saturday in his newly finished Sierra. A major electrical fault promoted a misfire that caused a vibration that broke a turbo pipe! Wet rubber on rims that wouldn't clear the suspension just added to the new car blues.

VDS Racing manager Bill Cleland (John's father?) suggesting that the pace car should be re-introduced for the rolling starts and to be deployed in case of accidents - especially in the new ever more competitive 2-litre class. How right was he about that! Chris Hodgetts running in rwd configuration.

The Autosport report supports that Andy Rouse and Tim Harvey was timed with identical times during qualifying. The Autosport results does get it the times wrong on occation and 1990 I remember as a low.
