Zandvoort International F Vee 1971


Below we see more more Abarths, but this is the modified Fiat 600 of Hans de Jonge. I guess these first three are practice shots. Knauer in the Mini would finish behind de Jonge in the race; here he is beside Hans Deen's Daf 55.
The date of these pictures is unknown; I suppose it must have been short after the Dutch GP (look at the tarmac) but not the GP weekend itself; it is very quiet around the track, and neither de Jonge nor Knauer were invited for that meeting.
This is Pruijs in his Mini.
This is Ron Verzijlbergen alias "Jerom"; his Abarth way behind in terms of preparation behind Dijkstra or van der Pol. Next to him another Abarth, the 850 TC of den Ottelander. But we're talking about row 7 here. Dijkstra is away first, followed by from left to right van der Pol, Kok and probably van Oorschot.
Leeuwenburgh had to make a pit stop, still he finished fourth overall, second in class... ... behind teammate Swart, who finished second overall.
Dijkstra once again was unbeatable, finishing first with four seconds in hand.
