The '76 World Champ James Hunt didn't have the best outing at the start, being punted off by someone avoiding Regazzoni at, you guessed it, the first corner Paddock Hill Bend with suspension damage.
He took a short cut back to pits for repairs, on the short circuit, then won the re-started race but other teams including Ferrari (of course) objected that he didn't complete the full course on the GP circuit getting back to the pits and was DQ from the results two months later.
Hunt got his revenge by winning the BGP which was held at Silverstone a year later also winning a non-championship F1 race held at Brands earlier in March.
