Group 2 under 850 cc
With Søgaard champion, the main interest lay in second in the championship- an Abarth of course, but which one? The victory by Boesen did not alter anything,
but Nielsen’s second place made him vice-champion.

Group 5 under 1000 cc
British Champion Gordon Spice spiced up the final championship race with his fuel-injected, all singing-all dancing Cooper. Geared for Zandvoort (I wouldn’t know why - the Zandvoort ETCC race was a month ago...) and without practice, he had to start from the back. He drove in an impressive go-kart style, but a coming together with Lundberg hampered his race.
New champion Høyer won this race as well.

Group 5 over 1300 cc
This time, Pierpoint was simply too fast and won over Engstrøm and Buch-Larsen, while Belsø left the road and damaged a shock absorber.

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.
