On this circuit, the American cars could keep up the pace of the traditional European cars. Although the Galaxie of Hutcheson had some troubles rounding the hairpin at La Source, Ickx’ Mustang was unable to close in. Division 2 honours went to Wim Loos, after Pascal Ickx and Hubert Hahne retired; Division 1 was won by Ed Swart after a fight with Teddy Pilette.
