Group 1 under 1150 cc
Like all others, this race was affected by the rain on Saturday too. In the end, it was a victory for Mathiasen, ahead of Kristoffersen and Hansen.

Group 1 over 1000 cc
The wet Saturday had BMW wining the heat, but on Sunday Nelleman’s Camaro took over and he claimed the overall win. After the race, Thrusholm protested against the number of fan blades on a Camaro; 5 for Nelleman, 7 for Rasmussen - different Camaro’s anyway, and the number of fan blades was not mentioned on the homologation papers. In the end, nothing was changed - but Nelleman countered, found a missing rubber strip in the BMW’s boot and so Thrusholm lost his place.

Group 2 under 1300 cc
On Saturday, Høyer only finished ninth after an off in the rain, while Rasmussen nearly missed victory since he as unaware that Simca driver Heinz Muller had passed him. But he won both Saturday heats as well as one on Sunday, while Høyer had a puncture. Still, he finished third on aggregate, behind Rasmussen and Petersen.

Group 2/4 over 1000 cc
Engstrøm had rented a Corvette instead of the Porsche previously mentioned since his Opel workshop had burned down. But an expensive engine explosion during practice meant a non-start and hassle with owner Curt Wetzel. In his absence, Boo Brasta, Winther and Buch-Larsen all won heats with the Swede finally only 0,4 seconds faster on aggregate than Winther.

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.
