A false start was declared when the 30 metre barrier strand failed to clear BARHAM BELLE. Due to the prevailing strong winds, several drivers were unable to hear Starter W Ferguson's signal that a false start had been declared and as a result were alerted by the Clerk Of The Course racing into the back straight.
