Testing a new way of posting results - and it works a lot easier!

Somehow fourth in class C was not recognised for Mike Jordan and according to my notes he was disqualified. But looking at the relevant Autosport report he is classified as a finisher.
Sean Walker likely to not have been classified completing only 60 % of the class winning driver. Makes no difference in the points and barely in the results.
Five Star Racing was the name behind Geoff Kimber-Smith, but still his own team I suspect.
The Dave Brodie RS500 is seen going through the opening corner being all white with Atari backing on the front - his sponsor from the Mitsubishi days. This seems to have been the last time he was running in this colour scheme.
Does anyone has information about the Corolla AE82s of Tony Dolley and Les Liddiard? Both cars seems to have been run by their driver and presumably built for the 1989 season. Although the same model as that of Phil Dowsett, were they in the same spec.?

Andy Rouse leading the race hotly persued by Robb Gravett who started to fall away at two thirds distance with a broken exhaust and handling issues. Third was disputed among the two Labatt's cars decided in favour of Laurence Bristow as Tim Harvey picked up a puncture and had to pit for a new tyre.
In class B James Weaver and Frank Sytner was at it from the opening moments. Sytner was relieved of his front bumper on the opening lap by Jerry Mahony. The two of them would swap paint for the next almost 15 laps till a tyre was cut on Sytner's car sending him spinning into the greenery and out of the race. Godfrey Hall, a close third in the early going, inherited second, while third was disputed among Nettan Lindgren, Ian Forrest and John Llewellyn, John spinning out of contention.
The Vauxhalls would dominate class C, Cleland driving from 4th and final C contender to the lead within the first lap, while Louise Aitken-Walker had to fight Alan Minshaw for second.
Geoff Kimber-Smith would lead class D only to retire with a broken engine, leaving it to Tony Crudgington and Phil Dowsett to settle things. Dowsett would win comfortably as Crudgington would retire his RWD Corolla with an engine failure too.
