The race was in warm heat and had started early. Brabham was fast away, leading into the first corner followed by Gregory, poleman Moss dropping down to third, being then overtaken by Moss. Phill Hart was trying to get out of the field but would spin and crash onto another car, leading into double elimination. Most of the race was not too intense and was calm, however, Brooks complained of misfire and the Ferrari pitted to try and find the problem. By the time he was sent away he had dropped into last position and On lap 23, Brabham misjudged a move to lap Cabral, his Cooper flying off track and wrapping itself round a telegraph pole, the driver lucky to survive. Race was won by Moss with a time of: 2:11:55.41. Written by Balsamo Giulio See less
