Race 1
The small touring cars started on Saturday - and Plückelmann drove a Hoffknecht Autobianchi, since his own car was too light - in fact, okay by the constructors’ standards (and the German ABE) but the homologation weight was set higher. He lost his points from Sembach and Salzburgring, at Zandvoort he finished only fourth, the class being won by Beyerlein. Stuckenbrock won the 1600 cc class over Seikel.

Race 2
The rest of the Group 1 field had lonely winner in the 1300 cc class by Frensch(en?), with Uhrmacher only third after gearbox troubles. Weisheidinger won the biggest class, with some friends around him keeping the minimum number of starters upright. Three Eichberg Escorts dominated the 2000 cc class, with Köpcke winning over young talent Hahne, who was taught a lesson by Weisheidinger as well.

Race 3
The little group 2/5 cars opened the Sunday program, with Casteel winning the 1000 cc class, while Preukschat and Steinert entertained the public with a terrific fight - Preukschat winning finally after Steinert spun.

Race 4
The touring car race under 1600 cc was won by Ringshausen after the impressive Kürschner had brake troubles and finally a broken engine. The 1300 cc class was an easy victory for Fischer in the 16-valve Alfa Romeo.

Race 5
Last but not least the Group 3 cars and the big Group 2/4/5 cars. Utz had lost an engine in practice, and with a lent car he had a puncture in the race - a weekend to forget. Schall had all sorts of problems as well, started at the back, had a broken suspension in the race but still managed to win. The remaining class was won by Sindel.

Race 6
The Grand Final, the division 1/2/3 race, was called the “3-Länder Kampf” which was a name not quite respecting the troubles between the countries a little over 30 years ago. Still, this time Holland took the lead but when Siewertsen lost the highest of his only 4 gears he had to let Dören go, fastest lap his only consolation. Division 2 and 3 were won by van Oorschot, his Spiess-Scirocco finally running like it should, and Bolderheij with his Datsun.
But the Netherlands won the 3-Länder Kampf overall!
