The identification of individual cars in these results is based on the material presented elsewhere in this site and may in some cases contradict the organisers' orginal results.
1969-1976 UK results have been researched and collated by Chris Townsend based primarily on material in Autosport and Motoring News. Information has been added from the growing collection of entry lists from programs.

Individual sources for this event
Patrick Sumner provided the organisers' official results for this race and times for one practice session. As well as revealing two starters not mentioned by Autosport or Motoring News (Sumner himself and Leen Verhoeven), the results sheet also mentions eight "non-starters", three of which (Schuppan, Leech and Amato) may not have been present at all.
