The sorry state of the championship was further underlined when Finotto and Facetti hadn’t entered the Zolder race too. After retirements of Grano and Heyer (Mercedes) the victory went to Joosen and Van Hove again, with the BMW 320 of Kelleners and Hegels second and the Scirocco of Bergmeister/Siegrist in third - which cemented them as voce-champions in the championship.
