Group 2 under 1600 cc
Buch-Larsen was flying here, and nobody could get even near, in fact he mixed it with the big cars of the same race. Vølding finished second, a long way behind.

Group 2 under 1000 cc
This time, Høyer was on his own, winning all three heats.

Group 1
The very same four drivers from the first round were the fastest again. Kristensen showed his talent once again, but while duelling with Høyer they encountered some backmarkers, with dramatic consequences: a collision, and Kristensen’s Mini ended flat as a pancake with the driver bruised and battered - though he was quick to point out that he would race next week, provided he could get on his feet again. Høyer won the race, followed by Borch-Christensen and Larsen in second and third.

Group 5
Belsø’s Escort had finally arrived in the 10-car field, and he duly won heat 1. The starting grid for heat 2 had Engstrøm sandwiched between the Escorts of Belsø and Rasmussen. It had to go wrong - and it did go wrong: Rasmussen had to take to the grass, while Belsø punctured a tyre. Hard and ruthless driving, it was said, but Engstrøm won with team mate Jürgensen second, Henriksen third and Rasmussen fourth.
But it was not over yet, and in the third heat things went wrong again: Engstrøm and Belsø touched and both had to retire, leaving overall victory for Rasmussen, with Jürgensen second and Henriksen who had stayed out of trouble in third.
This race saw an amazing Volvo PV 544 of Swede Mörbäck - it retired unfortunately.

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.
