Starting from fourth on the grid the Morgan-Nissan driven by Baguette-Enjalbert-Pla had a perfect race and emerged victorious in the Donington 6 Hours. This car was entered by Jacques Nicolet’s team only a few days before the event, and although it was the spearhead of the French squad’s attack it had been hit with problems in the days prior to the race. On Friday it had an engine problem and water in the fuel on Saturday. All these glitches reduced the track time of no.35’s drivers, in particular Olivier Pla whose first time out on the circuit was in qualifying when he set the fourth-fastest time.
