Pictures

On Saturday, spring was in the air, and most went home with the idea to shed some clothing for the next day. However, Sunday was more like Siberia; snow falling from the sky.

Race A
Awful conditions and visibility, and since the Importer Toyotas of Baillard and Claude Holvoer were absent and the Alfa Romeo of De Deyne was not feeling at home in these conditions, it was a walkover for the Sunbeams or Hillmans or whatever you want to call them.
Four rallye driver in the top-5 with Emile Holvoer splitting the Sunbeams in third, Jaquemin winning after Marquet had held first for a short while.

Race B
Xhenceval was dominant in this race, but for second there was a fight between Tricot (handicapped by poor handling), Joosen, Wauters and Rieu. Joosen was in fine form, but the star of the race was Rieu, who climbed from fifth to third, close behind Tricot. The two-litre class was won by De Deyne ahead of “Christine” who had to use a less powerful spare engine.

Race C
Vanierschot took the lead, but that couldn’t last long - the Luigi BMW was too fast. He held first for five laps, then had some troubles with backmarkers so Xhenceval slipped past, but in lap 13 it was Vanierschot again in the lead! But alas, his engine cried enough. Semoulin finished second since Feider had to pit.
