Bemusement in Zolder: Peltier, still in the hunt for the championship, had not remembered the change in the programme; normally, it was the usual A-B-C-D, with Peltier and his Group 2 BMW in the last race (D), but this time the organisers had chosen A-B-D-C, since the last race of the day (E, if you are still with me) would be the second heat of the Belgian-German “EG Trophy” for Group 2 and 4 cars, where the first heat had been two weeks ago at a German meeting - incidentally won by Peltier.
In the order of today, the Group 2 cars had a little more time for repairs and maintenance. So Peltier missed the third race of the day, he was simply too late since he forgot.
Perhaps spurred on, Peltier showed his best in this last race; after lap two he had already passed the Carreras of Siewertsen and Stocks, Siewertsen even retiring two laps before the end.

Back to the Belgian championship then.
In the first race, Claude Holvoet led all the way except for the first round and won, way ahead of Hecq (Audi 80 GT). The second race was clearly dominated by Dex (Lotus Europa). Behind him was a duel between the Opel Commodore GS/E of Wauters and Alpine driver Vanierschot, which ended in this order. In race D, Peltier was absent as we know, so Siewertsen won ahead of de Fierlant. Race C was won by Demol in the Luigi BMW CS, beating teammate Xhenceval and “Davit” (Pantera) by a few tenths only.

In the heat of the Special Trophy EG Peltier almost took an early lead and led for over twenty laps, ahead of two Porsche Carrera, one of which Dutch Siewertsen. They had to stop at the end of the race and, shortly after, the second position was occupied by the German Brambring of Carrera. Since that time there occurred other changes.
