Two touring car races today: a Mini 1000 challenge, with all of 6 starters including a Le Mans-type start, which was won by Vernaeve and a more serious event, the final of the Belgian championship.
This was no mean feat; championship contenders De Keyn and Ickx had brought some help. Ickx had an Alan Mann Cortina and backing in the form of Henry Taylor in a similar car. De Keyn hired an Autodelta Alfa Romeo 1600 GTA, Italy’s newest hit. In the end, Ickx and Taylor beat the Alfa and so young Ickx won his title.
