Really close - correct on car and driver, wrong on the event. LOCKED for you to try again.

Sorry, no again. I'll keep it locked for you - it was VERY wet race, but only for a short time.

That's the one. One of the craziest races of them all in respect of the weather- the monsoon was so heavy, equipment in the pit lane was floating away. And then it all dried up. Many of the prototype cars had to sit it out for a while, and the production cars continued and moved up the leaderboard. The works Midgets and Sprites were in the hands of rally drivers like Rauno Aaltonen, Timo Makinen and Paddy Hopkirk, and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The Piper/Tony Maggs Ferrari finished 3rd overall.

One more point to you.
