Moderator's Report
SUMMARY
Bastian Grupp wins the race in a Cooper, in front of Ronnie Nilsson in a BRM, who was a lap down. Francesco Molteni rounds out the podium in a Honda, after post-moderation. Congratulations!
Race turnt out to be a survival test. Heartbreak for Michael Turner who suffered from electrical problems lying in second position, but still was awarded points for fourth. Gareth Hall set Pole and Fastest Lap, but had to retire eventually, like Dave Curtis who led for the first half of the race. They were still awarded points for making it halfway, like Bernie Darwin who was the last points scorer.
All S&Gs were performed according to the rules, but many had problems with the entry, or exit. It is best to recon pitlane topography before the race, and to practise a pitstop or two.

Francesco did his S&G on lap 14 but missed the pit exit, had to reverse and was subconsequently DQ-ed. He finished the race though, and asked for being reinstated.
Since this track had a very difficult pitlane topography, notably the entry and exit, the moderators have decided this was an Undeserved Black Flag. Therefore Francesco has been reinstated as third, 2 laps down.
It is best to practise a S&G before the race to learn the entry and exit of the pitlane. Sandown has a particular difficult entry, and small gap to exit the pitlane.
