Few spectators but nice weather at the Zolder round for the ETCC.

Division 1
Fastest in practice had been Herrmann, sharing the front row with Cella and Bianchi. The latter's engine died at the start so Herrmann took the lead, while Cella also had a bad start and regained second position after lap two, hunting for Herrmann and shattering the class record on the way. Behind the Abarths there was a battle between Mantzel, Brel, Andreason and Swart with Deprez soon joining in. He was the quickest of the bunch, passing them one at a time. Lap four, and the order was Herrmann, Cella, Deprez, Swart, Mantzel and Andreason. After 14 laps, Cella was the sole leader as Herrmann had retired. He was followed by Deprez and Bianchi, who had climbed back to third. Swart gave up fourth since he was after the class victory, so Andreason finished fourth.

Division 2
This race was dominated by the Cortinas of Whitmore and Procter, but behind them there was a real fight going on between Ickx and Hahne - and they were followed by an equal battle between Bussinello and Bianchi. Wim Loos could not impress with the RTH BMW while countryman Koster did not even make the start - in the qualifying race, his wheel hub broke.

Division 3
The last race had spectacular cars but otherwise was not very exciting. Ickx won ahead of Bianchi and Pierpoint, all in Mustangs, after a show and little else.
