A superb Historic Formula 3 opener was red-flagged after a clash between the leaders. Ian Bankhurst’s Alexis Mk8 led at first, but Simon Armer took over at Gerard’s on lap 11 in his March 703. Steve Seaman got his Brabham BT21 ahead of Bankhurst at Lake Esses on lap 15, and two laps later repeated the move on Armer before the race-concluding incident at Shaw’s Corner. “Simon hit Steve, then Steve hit me,” said Bankhurst, who was classified as the winner.

Bankhurst added another when Ewen Sergison retired his Merlyn from the lead of the second encounter late on, and thus wrapped up the championsh­ip.

Alex Cursley emerged on top of both Hyundai Coupe encounters, the second of which was an ultra-close contest featuring a quintet of cars at the front. Cursley stayed ahead throughout, but Mark Dicken came on strong towards the end, snatching second from Wayne Rockett on the line, having been fourth a lap earlier.
