Pictures

With Gijs van Lennep’s car, Huub Vermeulen won the Zolder Bekers. He had to get used to the car in practice, but won the first heat, while Grauls won the second heat.

In the final, Grauls followed Vermeulen as a shadow in the first ten laps, then he spun. Vermeulen took it easy, but had some trouble with second-placed Fointaine’s team-mate Witvrouw when lapping him. Still, Vermeulen took a decisive victory.
