The Nivelles track, more or less closed after its bankruptcy, was hired once again for a round of the Belgian championship. Highlight of the day were the fights between Vanierschot and Xhenceval; both times, Vanierschot won.
The production race over 1600 cc was won by Martin, after some rough driving Vernaeve, Semoulin and Joosen were eliminated.
