The race was to be run over 30 laps of the little circuit, but this was reduced to 20 laps due to the bad weather. The race was won by British driver John Coombs in a Lotus Mk VIII.{{cite web|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/races/1954-davidstow-f1/|title=1954 Davidstow F1|accessdate=2022-05-16}}
