Car info:  

 

Opel wanted to have its own race, since VW had the Formula Vee here. An idea for Opel single seaters never took off, instead touring cars from all over Europe were entered. There were GTs, prototypes (Opel GT with non-homologated carburettors), Group 2 and Group 5 cars from Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and of course Germany. Non-starter was the “Black Widow”, the Opel Rekord 1900 Group 5.
The gris was split in two part, the bigger cars and the GTs starting three minutes ahead of the Kadetts; unfortunately, one of the faster cars turned out to be a Kadett indeed.
Sweden (Dahlberg, Kadett and Tjerneld, GT) and Holland (Hezemans, Commodore) took the lead in the first race, and the final order was Hezemans, Dahlberg and Tjerneld but Dahlberg had been handicapped by many overtaking manoeuvres.
On Sunday, only cars finishing in race 1 were allowed to start, and the grid was Hezemans, Dahlberg, Tjerneld and Unnerud. Dahlberg proved to be quicker than Hezemans now he was in the same group and won the race, the Dutchman was second, Tjerneld retired while Unnerud finished third.
The GT race had a disappointing entry with Neuhaus the victor.
