The field only included two Formula One cars, however, the remainder being Formula 5000 and Formula Two cars. The entrants included Max Mosley, later to become president of the FIA, who drove a Formula Two Lotus. The fastest combination in the event was clearly Peter Gethin in his F5000 McLaren-Chevrolet, but after an engine failure on the last lap, it was left to Keith Holland to take the victory, with the rest of the field at least a lap down. Contemporary reports listed Tony Dean (BRM P261) as finishing second having completed 39 out of 40 laps. However, Gethin broke down on lap 40 and some later reports classify him as second.
