Pictures

A good entry for this national Belgian race; some Porsches, a factory BMW and Demoulin with his supercharged Alfa.

Kremer was fastest in practice, but Demoulin soon took over after the start. The Porsche fell back, Hahne was second until Demoulin had to make a fuel stop. After that, he was still in front of Kremer but nearly 25 seconds behind Hahne. But he made up ground, and a pressured Hahne made a mistake and left the road. A great victory for Demoulin.
