Incidentally, looking through the relevant Autosport issue covering this one, spotted an interesting little story- Apparently, in response to Dave Brodie's 'turkeys' interview at Thruxton, 'there was a concerted effort headed by Mike Smith for the drivers to turn up at Silverstone dressed in outfits that would have had Bernard Matthews clucking with delight. Alas, not enough suits could be found.....'

I'd love to have seen the TV coverage if they'd pulled that off!
