The 10 second penalty for Pete Hall means he must have finished second on the road.
Was this race shortened from, say, 15 laps, for some reason?

Race may have been shortened - Renault 5 race was also over 12 laps and therefore longer by 2 minutes. Sports 2000, FF1600 and FF2000 were all 10 lappers.
