The Equipe 6 Hour race at Silverstone last weekend was suitably gruelling, and came down to a clerk's decision in the end. Nick Sleep and Alex Montgomery in the ‘Hairy Canary’ Shelby Cobra had seen off the challenge of Mark Hales and Guy Grant in their Jaguar E-type, with a lap in hand over the rest of the field, when the Cobra stuttered and stopped at Chapel. Hales and Grant took the flag first but, as more than half of the race had passed, the winner was decided on distance travelled and the trophy therefore went to the Cobra crew.
