30 Years of Zandvoort: Jubileum Races.

Produktie Toerwagens under 1600 cc
It was their first race, and a lot of confusion was the question whether a Simca Rally 2 could be transformed into a Rally 3? The answer was unclear so far (and would be NO in the end), so Tom Klesser (Rally 3) had a hollow outright victory after race leader Dooseman made a mistake. The latter could haul in Prins (Audi) but not Klesser.

Group 2-5
It was decided to combine the field after all, and as a consolation the race was lengthened to 15 laps, so the smaller class had a chance to race for 12 laps or so. Van Oorschot was on pole again, Bourgoignie had to start from the rear - but a second van Oorschot victory was not to be, since first his brakes gave trouble, and then his rear wheel assembly let go. Bourgoignie won, Suykerbuyk and de Jong had a nice fight and the other classes were won by Redeker (Alpine) and Antonides (Datsun).
