About: 1963 Brands Hatch 6 Hours

'The Motor' International Six Hour Saloon Car Race was the third round of the 1963 European Touring Car Challenge, and was held at Brands Hatch on the Grand Prix circuit, on 6 July. This, the second Motor-sponsored Six-Hour saloon car race, was run in appalling conditions, like the 1962 event. The large crowd of approximately 15000, witnessed the favourite, a 7-litre Ford Galaxie driven by Dan Gurney and Jack Brabham flounder in the wet and the Jaguar Mk II dominate the race. Victory went to Roy Salvadori and Denny Hulme from and after the winners on the road, Mike Salmon and Pete Sutcliffe, were disqualified for engine irregularities.
