Notwithstanding the race title, it was just another national race - the excitement went to the first single seater race ever of Jan Lammers, who made a fine debut in FF - pole position and fourth in the race.

Group 1 under 1300 cc
No Cees van Dongen in the Datsun to challenge the Simca’s (his car was rebuilt into a group 2 car for Coronel after a crash in Luxembourg), but the finishing order was as usual, Zwaanenburg winning over Derr with a tiny margin.

Group 1 1300-2500 cc
German visitor Siegfried Köpcke won by a big margin (the Dutch found his car “suspicious”...) with Rien Frankenhout second in the Vauxhall. Prins won the 1600 cc class with the Audi.

Group 2 under 1300 cc + Group 1 over 2500 cc
Slotemaker was a on-starter: his car fell of the jack, holing the sump. Rob, never one to hide his feelings bit his tongue this time when he saw the sad face of his mechanic. Meylink who the race overall, since his main opponent Coronel had two (!) punctures at the rear.

Group 2 over 1300 cc
The field looked a bit better this time, so for the first time points could be awarded for the Dutch title. Siewertsen (Porsche 934) had a bad start but passed Deen after a few laps and won convincingly. Vanierschot won the 2000 cc class as usual, but a new opponent had its debut: van Oorschot in a Spiess-Scirocco finished second.
