Under 1600 cc
Since Geraldine Visser was declared to have a nervous breakdown by Kroesemeijer, her car was given to Fred Frankenhout. But more important was that John Bolten had hired a German Nothelle Golf, since he didn’t like to see Kroesemeijer dominating the races. His car sure was quick enough to dominate the race, and Kroesemeijer didn’t even finish second: Bolderheij won the fight, and in fourth came Frankenhout after another entertaining fight with Struijcken. Derr won his class with ease, with German Frensch in second.

Over 1600 cc
Polesitter Moritz was happy like a child with his win in the race. Despite a demon start by Cleutjens, he kept the lead and never looked back. Vermeulen, who had damaged his Camaro (and its engine) at Francorchamps last week had a lot of troubles, culminating in a lowly fifth on the grid and a miserable race. Second place was for Frankenhout, his car improved with a new exhaust system, while Hemmes slipstreamed past Cleutjens to take third.
In the 2500 cc class, Oeberius Kapteyn was unlucky again while de Jager won his class.
