This race saw the introduction of the Ford Galaxie and the Mini Cooper S. Although Sears' Ford Galaxie was on pole, the Jaguars were first away and the Galaxie was fourth into Copse Corner, but the Ford's power soon told, especially down the Hangar Straight and at Stowe Sears stormed through into the lead. On the opening lap, Harper's Rapier was nudged in the back at Becketts. He slewed sideways and, as it rolled, was mounted by Christabel Carlisle's Mini Cooper S which came to rest perched on top of the Rapier. Neither driver was hurt, nor was Mike Young after rolling his Superspeed Ford Cortina. Hill, Salvadori and Salmon tried all they knew to keep up with the Galaxie but to no avail. Hill then retired at Club Corner with a burst tyre and Salmon pitted with ignition problems. |
