This race was to be a disaster for Andrew and I, finishing 11th out of 12 runners, mainly due to down on power engines, and misfires causes by dirt in the fuel.
We qualified well, in wet conditions in 5th place. I took the wet start and moved to third, but as the conditions improved and the track got drier, the down on power engines allowed other teams to catch and pass us, relegating us to 5th. We led briefly on lap 87 as we were one of the last teams to pit for slick tyres when the wets were being chewed to bits by the dry track and lap times were beginning to go up again as the tyres overheated. I came out of the pits in third but immediately had a misfire so came in again and changed a carburetor. This put us to the back of the field where we remained to the end, only improving one slot when another team dropped out completely.
