Er - was running fourth until early driver change, was then 22nd. It was then running third as the driver changes unwound. The lead E type retired with gearbox issues. The second E type had no brakes at Club as the TVR went past, and then retired. TVR kept honest by the chasing Cobras. The red Griffith retired on the first lap.

So a good win, but not exactly pole to flag easy.

Great win and I was cheering it all the way but it was gifted due to the faster E-Types retiring - hardly a walk in the park more a case ofgoal hanging!

Any idea what went wrong with the red Griff ? Was having trouble charging in the pits before the race .
