By the look of it, this was to be the only 1986 BTCC race for Geoff Kimber-Smith. Was he commited to other forms of racing or business?

GKS did Thundersaloons in a BMW + FIA touring cars..
Did the championship have fewer races to accomodate the FIA series which visited Donington a week before this race? Drivers included Rouse, Newman, Kirby, Dooley, GKS, Allam and Hodgetts.
Q times 2-14 are fastest laps. Pole time is correct.
Fastest laps recorded as speeds A Rouse 107.24mph B Longman 103.64 C Hodgetts 101.07mph record.
