The Trophée Trans Europa at Zandvoort was a not worthy replacement for the traditional ETCC race: foreign entries were sparse, in fact it was possible to retain the normal Dutch championship numbering, only 8 cars from Germany or Belgium took the start and not a single one had a chance of overall victory.
On pole we had Cleutjens, who stormed away from Loek Vermeulen after the Saturday fight, but it was not the Capri drivers’ weekend; he lost a wheel after 22 laps and retired.
Now Vermeulen was in the lead, with Moritz second and the Monza of the Frankenhout brothers third - and the latter pair had to pit first. Then Moritz and Vermeulen came in, the latter changed with Hemmes, but Henny overcooked it, nearly hit the armco and trying to recover hit them anyway!
In first it was now Lubin - who still had to pit - followed by Frankenhout, Moritz and Hemmes. Lubin came in and Cleutjens hopped in, and he returned on the track just behind Hemmes, his old enemy. Moritz now challenged the Opel Monza and passed, with 15 minutes left to go. Then his fuel pressure sunk, so he fell back - now the Frankenhout Monza was in the lead and duly won the race, with Cleutjens second, Hemmes third and the disappointed Moritz in fourth. Class victories were for “Jiempe” from Belgium with his Scirocco and Bauer/Gall won the 2500 cc class, without impressing as much as some German Escorts did in the past.
