Group 2 under 850 cc
Abarth domination was restored with Søgaard winning all three heats and grey Abarths finishing 1-2-3-4. The dice between Lund and Davis was nice, but really too far away from the front.

Group 5 under 1000 cc
Borch-Christensen, Kofoed and Nielsen gave Høyer food for thought this time, with Borch-Christensen winning while Høyer’s defensive drive brought him second overall. Still, he managed fastest lap in a new record of 0.48,1.

Group 5 over 1300 cc
Although Henriksen won overall in his BMW, the championship was almost decided with Engstrøm second place after taking a detour in heat 1. For the first time, both Belsø and Buch-Larsen both started in Escorts, but both retired, just like Bornebusch.

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.
