Just to show that Toms' appeal as a great natural talent is not confined to Wales, the Eurocar circus was nominated as the first recpient of the trophy, which was awarded to the winner of the V8 saloon car race. Kevin Clarke who hails from the Midlands emerged as the victor after a clever pit stop stratergy pit him into the lead, which he held on to as the race finished under a full course, no overtaking caution. As he presented the trophy Mr Pryce thanked the organisers for arranging his attendance and said "I am so glad that Tom is so well remembered here"
