Swaine stretches his lead; Druids gets straighted out

Baker drops two wear around the Surtees line to regain P2
Ales hugs the inside of the corner at 100 shedding two wear
Beckman clears Surtees on the line at 100 for one wear

Kennington exits G.H. Bend at 100 and dives inside through Surtees trading two wear for P4
Brandt knocks off one wear through the inside of Graham Hill Bend at 80
Puddifoot finishes the Druids line at 80 and starts the next racing line
Ingraham similarly finishes Druids on the outside and tucks in behind the light green machine

Kubala gets pointed in the right direction and at 40mph chooses to block the exit from Druids
Kennard weaves around the slow moving Kubala at 80 using one additional wear
Burnett catches the group after clipping one wear on the line at 80
Welage bides his time also at 80 for a wear keeping within two car lengths of Burnett
