Bad luck for Bill Binnie

American Bill Binnie suffered dreadful misfortune during the Brands Hatch 75th anniversary meeting. First, his Maserati 6CM was put off line in qualifying when a car emerged from the pits and Binnie hit the barriers at Paddock Hill Bend, breaking its steering arms.

Then on Sunday his ex-Brian Redman/ Clay Regazzoni Ferrari 312PB was dragged along barriers by a tow truck. Fortunately, damage was limited to the rear body and smaller ancillaries.
