Group 1 under 1300 cc
Decision time: both classes could have a fresh champion today. Wortel had a tough fight with fellow Fiat driver Kluvers, came out on top - Wortel was champion. And Zwaanenburg finalised his season-long dominance with another narrow victory over Derr - he was champion too. Willemsen wrote off his Simca with a magnificent roll.

Group 1 1300-2500 cc
Lammers was clearly fastest of the 2500 cc class, winning over Bökenkamp and Frankenhout. In the 1600 cc Loek Vermeulen had hired a German Audi 80 GT to keep his championship dreams open - but the car broke a drive shaft soon, Maassen claiming victory again over Prins in another Audi 80.

Group 1 over 2500 cc; Group 2 and 4
Tricot looked for revenge after the GP incident, but his engine cried enough so Deen won. Vanierschot was a class of his own again, too fast for the immaculate Scirocco of van Oorschot. The 1300 class finished in the order Meylink-Bolderheij-Cleutjens, after Meylink had a hard fight with Coronel - but the latter had to retire.
Fourth-placed man Schregardus entered a protest against the top-3; and Meylink (NAV chairman too!) was thrown out since his car was 10 kg too light.
The 1150 class was nor very exciting (Krijnen winning) but the 1000 cc class was better with Kok and van Dongen fighting for the lead - Kok winning with van Dongen only centimetres behind. Slotemaker won the group 1 class.
