There were three separate races for each division.

In Division 1, the four main contenders were “Pam” and locals Boshuis, Dijkstra and Swart. After the start, Boshuis took the lead, followed by the fighting trio Dijkstra-Pam-Swart. After a warning, Dijkstra stopped blocking the others, and Pam passed Dijkstra round the outside of Tarzan corner. Poor Boshuis stopped in lap 11 with electric gremlins, then Swart retired with gearbox trouble: following troubles with fifth gear, all the others were suddenly missing as well. Pam kept the lead for ten laps, but he then let Dijkstra pass, a safe second place enough for his championship score. The small class had an even more breathtaking fight between Zwolsman and Brandsma, the latter one winning the slipstream finish.

Division 2 was dominated by Belgian Ford Escort TC’s - Belgian championship points were at stake here as well. Yvette Fontaine had to start from row 7 since the timing officials only woke up in practice after she had to stop with gearbox trouble. She had driven much faster than the 1.53,1 she was given. But she was 9th in lap 1, and in lap 6 she took the lead and never looked back. When second placed Dudok van Heel had to retire, the finishing order became Fontaine-Dex-Witvrouw. The 1300 cc subdivision was led initially by van Oorschot’s NSU, but when he punctured, Facetti took over, only to come to a halt before the finish line to enable Pinto full points.

In division 3, Hezemans proved to be unbeatable on home soil, but for second place there was a scrap between Basche (2002 TIK) and van Lennep in another Porsche, finishing in this order, with Quester in another BMW turbo car in a close fourth.
