Tom Walkinshaw – Mazda Rx7.

Jeff Allam was the star of the Tricentrol race right from the word go. The young Surrey driver on the third row, remember, kept the revs at 3000 instead of his usual 5000, and with a perfect launch headed for the outside of Copse, while the other Capris all dived for the inside line. Brilliantly, Allam was first into the bend!
As the field started to string out further, it soon became clear that Walkinshaw's Mazda was the fastest thing on the track. It was eighth on the completion of lap one, seventh the following lap, then sixth, fifth. Just as it appeared that he would challenge Buncombe for fourth, Walkinshaw overdid it at Woodcote, half spinning and dropping back behind Muir.
Yogi, in fact was also driving an inspired race, and while the Mazda was picking up the pieces, he rapidly demoted both Buncombe and Spice. Then Muir's third place became second on lap fifteen, as Graham dramatically lost his close runner-up spot with a broken half shaft, which sent a wheel flying off!
Allam, who had refused to be ruffled by Graham's presence, couldn't relax though, for Muir was getting ever closer, and Walkinshaw was in turn reeling 'Yogi' in, despite having to hold the car in top.
It was Muir that Allam had to fear most and on the final corner the experienced Australian made a last desperate bid for the lead, taking the inside line and leaving his braking, oh so late...
The Brown and Day Capri slid helplessly sideways, and hurtled off the track, almost collecting Allam's AMS car in the process! Then, with a ferocious thud, the silver-haired veteran’s machine thumped the bank...
Behind the cool Allam came Walkinshaw's storming Mazda. Third fell to Spice, the class points leader running soft wet settings but dry tires, as did teammate Craft, who finished fifth behind Buncombe.
Rex Greenslade took second in class to the Mazda, though well behind in eighth place overall, having been shadowed by teammate Marshall for much of the race. The 1600 cc class, surprisingly fell to Percy, who gradually reeled in and then passed Lloyd: "From now on I can do it!" exclaimed the West Countryman, having at last soundly beaten his arch rival, who it must be admitted, perhaps wrongly ran intermediates. Longman took the tiddler class from a hard trying Curnow.
