Group 2 under 850 cc
Even with Larsen and Borch-Christensen moving up to the 1000 cc class, the Abarth dominance was still there. From start to finish it was an Abarth train, with Søgaard winning over Nielsen and Mikkelsen.

Group 5 under 1000 cc
Høyer was the master here, in his red Austin Mini, with Jaeger second and Pedersen third. Molbech rolled his Mini is a spectacular way - he could climb out of the car through the front screen.

Group 5 over 1300 cc
The new Escort TC’s hadn’t arrived just yet, so Buch-Larsen had to be content with the ageing Cortina - which was good enough for third overall but nothing more. Both Henriksen (BMW 2002) and Rasmussen (Alfa GTA) had to get used to their new machine, with Rasmussen finishing second behind Engstrøm’s Porsche 911.

Remarks: Since many results are compiled backwards from the championship tables, it is possible that I have missed foreign drivers, which may have actually won a race outright.
