Jacques Laffite in a Ligier broke both legs and got a fractured pelvis after being pushed into a barrier badly even before reaching Paddock Hill bend.
Commentator James Hunt erroneously said that race winner Mansells first car burnt the clutch out when in fact a drive shaft broke at the start.

I love watching World Challenge race at Brand's Hatch.
