With Longhurst blocking the circuit, the race was restarted. On the restart, Seton beat Johnson off the start, only to be passed by Johnson several laps later. As Seton started to struggle with tyres, a train of Bowe, Jones, and Perkins caught up with him. After trying to pass Seton down the bottom of the hill into the last corner, Bowe tagged the back of Seton, sending him into a spin. Bowe subsequently incurred damage, leading to a flat tyre. As he limped around the circuit, he was hit by Tomas Mezera on turn four. This catapulted Mezera into the guardrail, taking him out of the race and causing extensive damage to both cars. Up the front, it was a clean performance from Dick Johnson as he took his first race win of the season, with Perkins second and Jim Richards in third. Pos.

After a couple of laps, Johnson began to climb back up the order and began to chase down race leader, Perkins. Toward the middle of the race, Neil Schembri blew his engine, laying down a trail of oil down the hill into the final corner. The smoke plume left meant that some of the leading drivers couldn't see the oil. The first driver to spin out was Dick Johnson, followed by Alan Jones, and finally Wayne Gardner. Toward the end of the race, Jim Richards began to rapidly close in on the back of Perkins. Though it proved not be enough. Perkins took the win, with Richards in second and Brock in third after a storming drive from the back of the grid. Pos.
