Group 2 under 850 cc
Four Abarths in front at the grid, but the fifth car was a DKW with Bauge behind the wheel. The Swede managed a second place overall behind Mikkelsen with Søgaard third. The seventh place of 56-year old Helmuth Hansen was noticeable.

Group 5 under 1000 cc
A non-championship race it seems, but Høyer present and winning, with behind him in heat 1 Larsen and in heat two Vølding.

Group 5 over 1300 cc
No points at stake here too, with Swede Bornebusch in a Porsche as well as an Escort TC, albeit from France. Henriksen was on form with the BMW, but retired after an incident. Engstrøm and Bornebusch had a monumental battle, but it ended in tears in heat 2.

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.
