The main support to the Formula 5000s was the Touring Car race. The first year of Group 1 saw Camaros dominate the overall results and Thruxton was no different with Stuart Graham and Richard Lloyd dominating the race until Graham retired leaving Lloyd to take a comfortable victory from Tom Walkinshaw's Capri. The pictures show the start, Richard Lloyd's Camaro, Bob Ridgard's Camaro, Barrie Williams Mazda, Gerry Marshall's Firenza and Stuart Graham's Camaro being demonstrated by Nigel Garrett at the Thruxton Golden Jubilee meeting.
