Burning question is...

.... did the 'tina win?  Done well once past the 131 (I think it was) then the blue MGB red Lotus tussle held it up.  Afterwards, was reeling them slowly in.

Incidentally, on a more serious aside, was involved in the death of a motorcyclist who embedded themself in the side of the overbridge on the start/finish straight, immediately after the hairpin, some years ago.  Not the best of days to go to work...
