It starts with an overview of some of the cars and the teams featured including Teams Maserati, Ferrari, Jaguar, and Aston Martin. This is followed by the excitement of the opening ceremony of the race. Afterwards, there is coverage of various shots of the mile course, hard racing, pit stops, cars being left behind, and exciting night racing as the race goes on. It ends with the pit crowds rushing the drivers as they pull in after finishing the race, with a resounding victory for Team Jaguar. It was an unprecedented sweep for the British, taking the first four places and sixth.
