AGD A105/6 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Few more clips:

1st lap from the rearcam:

Heart-stopping moment for Stephen Chase close behind in the A40, I’m already slow through Paddock as I’m clinging to the inside line in the melee, but then have to lift when Tom Harris spins and the pack ahead takes avoiding action.

A busy lap 5, also from the rear cam:

While I’m trying to get past Jim Woodley, Richard Frankel in the Giulietta and Jason’s Lancia are trying to pass me, with Bruce Chapman playing the waiting game in the Magnette. Richard finally makes it stick through Clearways but I just stave off Jason – this time…

Lap 9, and Jason bravely dives up the inside at Paddock Hill, keeping me to the outside at Druids. Bruce says thank you very much and goes through at Druids too, meanwhile Jason takes Jim Woodley. Jim’s line is compromised through Graham Hill Bend which slows him and blocks Bruce, enabling me to exit well and get past both of them on Brabham Straight.

Lap 11, and as Jason and I lap Steve Ashby in the Super Snipe and Victoria in the Rover, we first encounter the oil slick along the straight while eventual winner Matt Daniell is trying to lap us. Alistair Dyson is already way into the kitty litter but thankfully right way up, and Mark gets a tank-slapper as I tiptoe around, heart-in-mouth.

Lap 13, second-placed man John Burton’s XK, Nick Naismith’s A90 and Nigel Webb’s Mk1 lap me, with William Lynch not far behind in the sole A35.

Coming up to start lap 16, and in order to lap George Shackleton’s Minx cleanly, I try inside the oil line on the straight. Bit of an un-nerving wiggle with the pit wall flashing past but through OK.

Start of lap 19, Jason has succumbed to a temporary fuel surge problem (which disappeared after a couple of laps), and I follow the same routine with similar wiggle to lap Ian Kellett in HMS Vanguard, takes a while longer to get past the 220S of Stewart Imber but lovely views of all that chrome!

Lap 23 and Ding Boston in the OUMF Riley 1.5 can outcorner me so it takes a long time to pull away.
