Pictures

This time, division 1 and 2 were combined; Abarth dominated division 1 as expected, division 2 was equally dominated by Australian Frank Gardner and his Lotus Cortina.
Exciting was the division 3 race, not only with Porsche and Alfa Romeo but BMW had joined the frame as well. And what a debut it was: at home ground, Quester dominated and won the race in front of Weber and his compressor Alfa Romeo.
In practice, a young Marshall lost his life when he was ran down by Pust, who left the road and went trough a few straw bales.
