With the delay in restarting the F3 race and the time taken to clear the circuit of wreckage, the start of the saloon race was delayed. And just as the Saloon race was about to start yet another hail storm hit the circuit, so the drivers and mechanics sat in the cars on the grid until it had passed. Two warming up laps were then allowed for drivers to get the feel for the conditions, and 20 minutes late the field got away for a race cut from 10 to 5 laps.
Jim Clark in the works Lotus Cortina shot straight into the lead from Salmon's Navy Blue Mustang which held pole position. Sears (No. 2 in the Lotus team) backed him up with second place. It was more or less a runaway victory in the wet for the Lotus Cortinas of Jim Clark and Jack Sears, once they had sorted out Salmon's Mustang. The race was enlivened by the fantastic pace of John Rhodes in his works 1275 Mini Cooper S who hustled Salmon and actually finished in third place but was penalised 1 minute for allegedly jumping the start.
Warwick Banks (works Mini Cooper) and John Terry (Broadspeed Mini Cooper) shunted each other at the chicane on the first lap, and both were eliminated. The unfortunate Alan Hutcheson vainly attempted to drive the big Galaxie without wipers, and finally packed it in. The shortened race was not popular with Roy Pierpoint (Mustang), who was rapidly overhauling Salmon when the chequered flag fell on Clark. In the post race scrutineering Salmon's Mustang was found to be running with a non-homologated rear axle ratio, and was excluded, making Pierpoint the big class winner. Rhodes penalty gave the class to John Handley in the 1275 Broadspeed Mini Cooper S, while Don Moore's entry driven by Mike Campbell-Cole took the smaller category.
