Courage managed 46.3 sec, but looked faster, and Hill, whose car was still troublesome, managed 46.4 sec and was embarrassed by McRae who shadowed him through the twisty bits in his home-built car for lap after lap to be next qualifier with 47.0 sec.
Courage made his bid to be front-runner and was nudging the Ferrari's tail after twenty laps, being some 5 sec clear of Bell, who had a loose exhaust and stopped soon after to remove it.
Courage relegated himself to second, 15 sec behind Amon, with a spin on lap 32, but stayed 26 sec ahead of Bell who was just clear of Gardner.
