10 drivers lined up 3 wide at the start of this year’s race a Watkins Glen.\u00a0 Brian Redman held pole position in his Cooper T86B.\u00a0 He attempted to hold off Mclaren, Attwood, and Hahne, but Hahne gained the upper-hand and passed the finish line in the lead on the first lap.<\/p>\n
Hulme worked his way through the pack from 8th place and linked-up with his team-mate.\u00a0 The Mclaren’s worked together using slip streaming to minimize wear use and maximize speed.\u00a0 Hulme completed the second lap ahead of Hahne taking the lead.<\/p>\n
The fierce battles for position occurring throughout the race began to take its toll on the final lap.\u00a0 In an attempt to take the lead, Scarfiotti made a daring move, but his rear axle gave way and he crashed leaving one Cooper in the race.\u00a0 Unser pushed his car too hard and his transmission failed in the last corner.<\/p>\n
Hulme held the lead during final lap winning the race.\u00a0 Graham Hill started in 7th position and finished in 3rd place retaining his lead in the championship.\u00a0 Securing 1st and 2nd place allowed McLaren to move to the top of the constructor’s competition for the first time this season.\u00a0 Race results follow:<\/p>\n
