The decision would fall between Bourgoignie and Franck here; and tension rose further when cars were disqualified, amongst which Peltier. But both title contenders could start, and away they were with Bourgoignie slightly ahead. They were followed by a group consisting of Gaye, Fontaine and Dex, but the first had to pit in lap 9.
But in lap 13 disaster struck for Franck: his ignition failed, out! But three laps later Bourgoignie stopped as well, though he was champion by this stage already.
Fontaine and Dex continued their battle, now for the lead, but then Dex retired as well, leaving Yvette race victory with Gaye second despite his stop.
