Lawrence 1st
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND. The Hamilton driver, G. Lawrence, yesterday easily won the third round of the P. 0.5.8. 5000 single-seater championship at Pukekohe. Driving his Lola T 332 Formula 5000, Lawrence lapped all his competitors except for the second place-getter N. Doyle (Ashburton). Doyle benefited from a fourth-lap incident when
G. Baker (Christchurch) spun his F.M. 5 in front of J. Murdoch’s Begg 018, causing both drivers to lose valuable time as they rejoined the race. Until then, Doyle, Baker and Murdoch had been fighting for second place. The Auckland saloon-car driver J. Richards, drove his Ford Falcon GT in spectacular fashion and won three out of the four races he entered.
