It was time for a different event at Zolder, and apart from two touring car races there was a 12 hour event for Group 1 cars, starting at 23:00 Sunday night. Some of the Group 1 cars had already raced in the Sunday sprint races, but some took it a little easy in the long-distance event; the race was won overall by the little Mini Cooper of Vernaeve/Deprez while potentially faster cars like the Lotus Cortina of “Dex” and Witvrouw finished only seventh.
