Price is right at Brands Hatch

Welsh Formula 1 driver Tom Pryce won the Race of Champions event at Brands hatch on Sunday, 16 March, 1975. The Ruthin-born racer dominated in appalling weather conditions to win from Jody Scheckter. The start was delayed as snow fell. Scheckter took the lead at the end of lap 1 on dry tyres and Pryce was soon catching him, having passed Ronnie Peterson and Jacky Ickx after a bad start on the damp side of the track. The Welshman went on to win ahead of fellow Brit John Watson. Sweden’s Ronnie Peterson was third. Price died when he was involved in an accident at Midrand, South Africa, in 1977.
