The third year of the Marathon saw some fast rear-engined cars; not only the works Tatra’s like last year, but Porsche too had an interest in the race - it should be a demonstration of the reliability of the new semiautomatic gearbox, the “sportomatic”. And another team of “automatic” cars were the Dutch DAF squad, trying to repeat their excellent performance of the year before.
At first, the Porsche 911R took the lead, but a lengthy repair dropped the car back in favour of another Porsche, the 911S Sportomatic, which finally retired on Friday evening - then the 911R took over.
A sad retirement was yet another Porsche of Berger/Meert; 49-year old Georges Berger left the road and was badly injured - few moments later the triple Tour de France winner died.

In the end, the Porsche 911R Sportomatic of Elford/Herrmann/Neerpasch won the event, with the Mini Cooper of Fall/Vernaeve and Hedges second and the Volvo of Christofferson/Wängstre third. Daf finished sixth, tenth and eleventh.
