As Seton started to struggle with tyres, a train of Bowe, Jones, and Perkins caught up with him.

This catapulted Mezera into the guardrail, taking him out of the race and causing extensive damage to both cars.

Up the front, it was a clean performance from Dick Johnson as he took his first race win of the season, with Perkins second and Jim Richards in third.

Toward the middle of the race, Neil Schembri blew his engine, laying down a trail of oil down the hill into the final corner.

The first driver to spin out was Dick Johnson, followed by Alan Jones, and finally Wayne Gardner.
