Alain de Cadenet and Desiré Wilson took the winner spoils for the second round in a fortnight, for the de Cadenet team, driving their De Cadenet Lola-Cosworth LM1. The pair won in a time of 6hr 00:00.000mins., averaging a speed of 114.602ph. Whilst Wilson was driving, she lost the lead when she locked the brakes and was penalised one lap for missing the Woodcote chicane, but she produced a strong drive in spite of a misfire, to retake the lead 25 minutes remaining. In Italy, de Cadenet and Wilson had beaten Jürgen Barth and Henri Pescarolo in a Porsche 935K3. At Silverstone, Barth was second again, but this time sharing Siegfried Brunn’s amazing Porsche 908/3. Third but so nearly a late retirement, was the Porsche 935 of John Paul, Sr. and Brian Redman. Riccardo Patrese’s work Lancia Montecarlo crashed early in the race when its suspension broke up. But the sister car of Walter Röhrl and Michele Alboreto, streamed onto a class winning fourth place. The race was initially dominated by a brand new Kremer Porsche, destined for Le Mans and driven by pole-man Fitzpatrick, joined by Edwards and Plankenhorn. However, the car retired.Peter Swinger, "Motor Racing Circuits in England : Then & Now" (Ian Allan Publishing, 0 7110 3104 5, 2008) http://www.racingsportscars.com/results/Silverstone-1980-05-11.html Silverstone 6 Hours 1980 - Race Results - Racing Sports Cars http://www.touringcarracing.net/Races/1980%20Silverstone%20WMC.html 1980 WMC - round 5 Touringcarracing.net 1980-11-05 2014-02-04Benson David What a girl! http://www.wilsonmotorsport.com/public_html/Images/Media/7.jpg dead https://web.archive.org/web/20160303210910/http://www.wilsonmotorsport.com/public_html/Images/Media/7.jpg 3 March 2016 10 September 2013 dmy-all Classification Silverstone 6 Hours thumb|The Morgan Plus 8 of Richard Down, Bruce Stapleton & Bill Wykenham contesting the 1980 Silverstone 6 Hours Class Winners are in Bold text.
