This field included no less than 5 Chevron B8s and 2 B6s, and they all turned up! The front row men Michael Schryver (B6) and Andrew Newall (B8) were the class of the field on pace and soon pulled clear in a monumental dice. Their friendship was tested (I'm sure only briefly!) when Newall tipped Schryver into a 180 spin in a rather speculative dive up the inside at Brooklands. The clearly incensed Schryver (the whole attitude of the car told the story!) put in a string of quick laps to close down the few seconds lost, and recaptured the lead in the same place as he had lost it, putting in the fastest lap (by 4 tenths) in the process. This wasn't quite the end of the story since on what was thought to be the last lap Newall scrambled back into the lead at Luffield, whilst they were both passsing a back marker, only to find that the wrong pair of Chevrons had been given the flag, and the result was taken from the end of the previous lap. That Schryver won was, in my view, anyway, the just result.
Sean McClurg applies correction to his B6 on his way to 8th. The B8 (chassis #81) of Tony Bianchi, which qualified 4th, does not appear on the results sheets (presumably another without a functioning transponder):-
Stuart Tizzard in the Lenham Spyder qualified a lowly 19th having only done 3 qualifying laps so it was no surprise to see him move forward. However the pace at which he did so was impressive and he pulled the car up to a fine 4th. Here he is driving around the outside of a great dice between Stuart Leighton (B8) and Michael Hibberd (Lotus 23B), the later (as opposed to the latter) car just winning that encounter to finish 6th by a few tenths.
