The first race of the new race meeting format was for frontengined cars and Class 7C. This was won by John Spiers in his Maserati 250F. Rod Jolley came second in his shiny Lister Jaguar Monza, and third was Eddie McGuire in his Scarab.

First of the rear-engined Class 7 cars was Elliott Hann’s Cooper T41. 7

This race was for the balance of the rear-engined cars and was won by pole sitter Wilson from fellow frontrow starter Horsman by less than 0.6 of a second. Rudi Friedrichs in a Cooper T53 was only a further 1 second back in third.

The survivors from the first two races combined for the last race of the weekend. The grid was set by the fasted lap times in each heat.

Wilson won by 20 seconds from Horsman. Third, after a great drive from the back of the grid, was Miles Griffiths driving Julian Bronson’s Scarab Offenhauser. 9
