Pictures

In the shadow of the Formula 3 race there were races for the touring cars, with the exception of the under-1300 class.

A: Group 1 1300-2500 cc
A tight grid - the only car which was clearly faster in practice (and won) was caught after the race as illegally prepared. Frankenhout’s Firenza now won the race, behind him Nijsten was disqualified as well, so Houthuyzen came second with Lammers third.

B: Group 2/4 under 1300 cc, Group 1 over 2500 cc
More controversy in this race: winner Visser did not want his car to be inspected - I suppose the ex-van Oorschot engine was still in, but under the new rules that was 100 cc too large. Cleutjens blew his engine in practice and could not start, but some of the ones who did take the start had their share of bad luck as well; Deen in the Datsun was sandwiched between two other cars. Bolderheij, who had taken the lead from Coronel when the latter retired with fuel injection problems, had started a little too early and was penalised 1 minute. After the disqualification of Visser Redeker won the race. Class wins were achieved by van der Beek (Simca), Coorengel (BMW) and de Jong (Sunbeam) after a fight with Antonides and Kok - whose throttle stuck wide open in the closing stages.

C: Group 2/4 over 1300 cc
A very thin field here, Kannacher winning after Deen retired.
