SUMMARY
Dean Logan drove very consistent laps, and brought home the victory in the Matra MS80. Tim Muttram (FullMetalGasket) had an impressive drive from eighth to second place in his BRM P126/139. Piero was in second for most of the race. He fell back to 4th place. Then he made a nice come back. Piero finished third in a damaged Brabham BT26a (DFV) and he set the fastest lap.

Lap 19 - Ronniepeterson sees Piero Mercaldo on prib. Ronnie slows down at the end of the front straight to allow Piero to get past. Piero has the draft, but he still has a lower top speed than Ronnie (even with Ronnie letting off early for turn 1). Piero overtakes Ronnie in the braking zone. Unfortunately for Piero, Ronnie stopped looking in his mirrors and turned into turn 1 apex. The unintentional contact with Piero's left rear tire causes Piero to go off track and lose two positions.
On a straight, the overtaking car moves out to overtake, maintains his line and has achieved 100% overlap but the overtaken driver moves across into him. There was no loss of control. Penalty for overtaken driver.

Lap 19 - Piero Mercaldo rejoins the track in front of Bob Whitwell (Baab) and contact was made. Piero drives back on the track but should have at least stayed at the left instead of the middle. At the last moment you can see him trying to steer away but it's too late.
The rejoining driver drove straight back onto the track, but not the racing line, without checking for other cars and contact was made.
- Piero Mercaldo — penalty — Blatant bad rejoin: Penalty 2 places — 2 places lost
