Pierpoint made a copy book start to lead from the works Cortinas of Jimmy Clark and Jack Sears and the Willment Cortina of Frank Gardner. The first lap had been enlivened by Alan Hutcheson spinning the 7-litre Galaxie to the consternation of those behind who had to look hard to find a space to slip through - somehow they all managed! Pierpoint maintained his lead over Clark, while Jack Sears was kept busy by Gardner who was performing acrobatics in the red Willment Cortina. Further back Sir Gawaine Baillie was battling Jack Brabham - both were in Mustangs but Jacks' didn't seem quite as quick.

The up to 1300 cc saloon car race started and finished like a stock-car event. The winner was John Rhodes in the works 1300 Mini Cooper, who put on a splendid show. His race was made considerably easier when John Handley and Tony Lanfranchi collided on the first lap, the former continuing at reduced pace until bent bodywork burst a tyre, while Lanfranchi brought the Alexander car in immediately to retire, fuming!

Warwick Banks in the works 970S also had a contretemps, collecting John Cannadine in the Speedwell 1300 S on his second lap when the latter tried to pass on the inside at North Tower, the scene of the Handley/Lanfranchi melee. John Terry had the misfortune to lock a wheel at South Tower and hit the bank. After all these little excitements John Lewis held second place in his 1300 Mini-Cooper with Chris Craft third in the 1200 Anglia, and this was how they finished. John Fitzpatrick won the 1000 cc section for Broadspeed, somehow avoiding the pile-ups. Gerry Marshall had a race-long dice with Mike Campbell-Cole, whom he succeeded in pushing off at the last lap by using him as a brake at South Tower. Up to this time these two had been neck and neck, first one leading then the other, but this last manoeuvre proved a little too much even for Campbell-Cole.
