Laurence Bristow and Graham Goode tangled at the start stopping the race. The restarted race was run over 18 laps – I believe the intended distance was 20.
Stuart Donnan making his BTCC debut in the ex-JQF Engineering RS500. The car is described as converted to running a regular suspension system instead of the JQF active suspension, making the Donnan car the one that JQF finished the 1989 season with.
Donnan had raced the car during some Thunder Saloon races to get enough points to his license in order to race in the BTCC.
Nettan Lindgren, with the Swedish series finished weeks earlier, had invested in a new set of tyres ..that had to last the entire weekend.
John Cleland was leading class B on the last lap, when Frank Sytner tried an outbraking manouvre. It failed and both ended in the guard rail. In the subsequent arguments betwin the two Cleland apparently grabbed the colors of Frank Sytner's driving suit and was fined £250 for un-gentleman behaviour.
