The podium was therefore completed by the inevitable Michael Lyons, who had passed Moreno any way, in a McLaren M26 (ex-James Hunt). In the pack, the show was provided by the superb Shadows of Max Smith-Hilliard, Gregor Fisken and Jean-Denis Delétraz (ex-Jean-Pierre Jarier) fighting throughout the race (17 laps) with a Lotus 77 ( ex-Peterson) driven by Nick Padmore and a Penske PC3 (ex-John Watson) by Matthew Wrigley.
