One of the striking features of the second Grand Prix Final was the number of cars who were forced out of the race in the warm up! Aggressive driving during the warm up has always been problematic in Race Day heats, but that wasn't the case here as Sponne, Coopers and Hillside suffered either engine failure, or in the case of Hillside, severe damage after being rescued by a marshall. The main sufferers were Quarrydale, who were upended by Langley Park before the race started and were not seen again for the remainder of the day.

As the race proper started it soon became clear that we were to have a different winner, with Darrick Wood struggling from the outset. Champions Langley Park raced their spare car and were the early pace setters, but it didn't take long for Kirk Hallam to stamp their authority on the race. Perhaps the fewer cars on the track suited the team from Derbyshire, as they were able to pick their way through any trouble far more easily to set an incredible average lap time of 14.51 seconds. Although their 29 laps was one short of Darrick Wood's from GP1, they also managed to win by a convincing five lap margin.

To their credit, Lord Williams and Pennsnett both completed over 20 laps, whilst Ash Manor finally got some track time. The only car from GP1 not to complete laps, Marlborough School, also scored, completing 7 laps.
