Between the Lifeguard station and junction 4

By stage 8 twenty cars had already retired - many of the retirements were caused by incidents involving kerbs.



Picture Description
After each stage the marshalls arranged the efficiant recovery of cars. Car 47 was loaded onto a transporter before this stage started.
Despite the cars starting each stage at different times there was plenty of overtaking. Car 37 Richard Leach / H Singleton in Vauxhall Nova (1400cc) here are fighting with car 31 Mark Bonner / Vincent Jones in Ford Escort Mk V modified to have rear wheel drive (2000cc). Guess who was doing the overtaking?
Car 44 driven by Tim Whiting / Phill Longley was a Ford Escort Mk 2 with 2200cc engine.
