Group 2 under 850 cc
A non-championship race with guest Borch-Christensen winning this time.

Group 5 under 1000 cc
Another non-championship race, where Borch-Christensen retired and the Mini’s could dominate the event, with Høyer winning, of course.

Group 5 over 1300 cc
No points at stake here as well. Guest Pierpoint with his Falcon Sprint challenged Engstrøm, but the latter claimed another victory. Another foreign entry was Yvette Fontaine, who was 7th overall.

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.
