An amateur film made by Chris Lawson of a saloon car racing believed to be taking place at the Croft motor racing circuit near Darlington.
Spectators put up with murky condtions to watch the event. The film's main vantage point is near a footbridge across the track on one of the main straights. Many of the cars are Ford Anglias but there are also numbers of other cars racing including Ford Cortina's and Mini's.
A driver runs across the track, perhaps after abandoning his car following mechanical problems or an accident. General views follow of cars going around the track.
A sports car event which includes E-type Jaguars and Lotus Elans is also captured .
The mist gets worse and the cars continue racing with headlights on.
The film ends following a cut to a waterfall, partially hidden by trees.
