Despite the presence of a hard-charging Frank Gardner, enjoying a return to saloons in the 5-litre SCA Freight Camaro, Brian Muir in the Wiggins Teape/Gartlan 5.7-litre Camaro romped home to his fourth successive class (third outright) win in the suave blue American pony express. Gardner finished second overall after a fine drive up from fifth place on the opening lap. |
