Group 2 under 1600 cc
The thin fields of the previous races were forgotten by now, with this race the main course for the weekend. Seven fine Swedish entries were received, with the Ford team of Lundberger, Larsson, Ljungfeldt and Kvist; and the Mini’s of Troberg, Rothstein and Holmberg. Ljungfeldt won the first heat, 7 seconds in front of Kvist and Lundberger, with championship leader Buch-Larsen only in fifth!
In the next heat, Ljungfeldt retired and Kvist took over, with Lundberger and Buch-Larsen duelling for second with Larsson fourth. The last heat was won by Lundberger, Kvist, Larsson, Troberg and Buch-Larsen.

Group 2 under 1000 cc
The championship had long been decided with Høyer as champion and Borsch-Christensen second. Despite his bad practice, Høyer won again.

Group 1
Before the race, Borch-Christensen and Høyer were equal on points, but Høyer was in fine form here, winning the first two heats and leaving the third to the battling pair of Larsen and Borch-Christensen, with the latter holding the upper hand. So it was Høyer who became champion.

Group 5
Only second place in the championship was at stake here, and while Engstrøm roared into the distance again, Belsø broke yet another rear axle but still claimed second in the championship, since Rasmussen finished at the back of the field. Swedish guests provided the spectacle with Tobiasson (BMW) and Troberg (Camaro) - but could do nothing to challenge the new champion.

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.
