Jim Clark's Cortina and Sir Gawaine Baillie's Galaxie had a slight advantage in the initial rush into Old Hall corner when the large field was released, but the power of the Willment Galaxie soon told and it was Jack Sears who led at the end of the opening lap, with Jim Clark in hot pursuit and his team-mate John Whitmore harrying Baillie. Bob Olthoff and Trevor Fowler led the rest of the field, both in Cortinas, and John Fitzpatrick's works Mini Cooper S led the tiddlers with mike Young's Anglia next up. By the fifth lap Jack Sears was well away, but coming into Lodge corner he found his brakes non-existent and deliberately spun the Galaxie to avoid hitting the bank head on at full speed. Both he and the car came to rest unscathed, but the escaped brake fluid in the front drum then caught fire as he removed the car to a place of greater safety, and there was some drama with extinguishers. Jim Clark then opened out a huge lead, and the only change of order up near the front resulted from Bob Olthoff's retirement. Meanwhile Mike Young got away from the Minis and Phil Middlehurst mounted a determined assault on the works cars, finally leaving them both behind in his privately entered S. Mick Clare's efforts in this class unfortunately came to an end when he became involved with Mike Cave's Alfa Romeo in a shunting match at Lodge which put them both out. As usual there were a fair number of spins and off-course excursions, but no one was hurt, although Ralph Broad's once beautiful Mini looked rather sad following its accident on the opening lap.
