Pictures

More spectators than expected, the publicity had paid off this time. And they saw some close racing indeed.

Serie A
Michel De Deyne was dominant once again, like Marquet in the 1300 cc class. De Deyne took the lead immediately and with Gerckens not too far behind he sailed to victory. But behind the Alfa pair it was close racing between Speeckaert, Lauria (Alfas) and Dubois; the trio was covered by less than a second at the line. Holvoet and Polak had a coming together, but the first fought back with a new lap record of 2.04,4.
On the fifth lap the Alfa of De La Royère was thrown over the guardrail, but fortunately the pilot was unhurt.

Serie B
I’m not sure about the second, mixed, race; it seems Roothaert, BMW, had pole, won the race but was disqualified; he is absent from my grid positions, and I don’t have a clue where I got them from in the first place.
In any case, Tricot (Opel) took the lead followed by “Dex” in the Lotus Europa. Roothaert then took over and finished first.

Serie C
Vanierschot was another victim of technical inspection after his race, which he dominated once again, but his car was OK underlining the superiority of the pilot. Behind him and Regout (De Tomaso), Demol (Luigi BMW) finished third while teammate Xhenceval retired early.

Serie D
Dutchman Siewertsen took the lead, but after one lap Peltier sailed by and won by a large margin, while Xhenceval retired early once again.
