The 1 hour 2 driver round, but why was it moved from Oulton Park to Donington Park?

Not sure of the reason for the change, but it became a fixture at Donington in 1988-90- We also got one at Brands in '90

I've only got a few qualifying times, but the grid order as far as I can tell was:

1:Rouse/Sears 1m14.24
2:Newman/Speak 1m14.73
3:Bristow/Harvey
4:Goode/Lyall 1m15.17
5:Gravett/Ayles
6:Grice/Percy
7:Edwards/Dumfries 1m15.84
8:Jones/Flux
9:Hodgetts/Lee
10:Sytner/Weaver
11:O'Brien/Brown
12:Hall/Williams?- possibly 13th?
13:Leech/Carvell?- possibly 12th?
14: Minshaw/Ratzenberger
15: Mahony/Hales
16: Smith/Hoy?
17: Sands/Jones 1m19.30
18: Hathaway/Townsend
19: Dowsett/Needell or May/Lepp
20: Jeffrey/Clark?
21:Buxtorf/Robinson
22: Brindley/Llewellyn
23: Hales/Watts
24: Eaton/Moss
25: Kimber-Smith/Cowell
26: Shead/Morris
27:Crudgington/Davidson
28:Wallis/Abbott
29:Wiffen/Parsons

There are a few inconsistencies and gaps, (eg the Hall/Williams M3 and Leech/Carvell Rover might be the wrong way round, and I seem to a have both the Dowsett/Needell TOM'S Corolla and the Maserati in 19th...) so I suspect some of these are wrong

Can anyone fill the rest of these in or correct my errors?

According to my notes of the result, John Lepp didnt post a qualifying time in the Maserati- not sure if this meant that Nick May had to drive solo?
