*) Class title
**) Lewis scored some points in class A too

The points system was 8-6-4-2, with 1 point for fastest lap. It seems that the 2 lowest scores had to be dropped. The 1600 cc class is a mystery to me; sources suggest 42 points each for Hutcheson and Blydenstein; for Blydenstein this could be possible, but I'm lost how to get 42 points for Hutcheson. If anyone has a clue, I'd be most grateful.
The 22 points for Lewis are mysterious as well, just like the fact that Kerrison did not get the one extra point for his fastest laps...
