The 2 hour race was decided when the pace cars came out after a splendid roll of the Golf of Kersbergen. But even before the race had begun, there were already more victims: Moritz retired in the warm up lap, and Rietmann took the warm up very literally when his Golf caught fire.
Vermeulen’s Camaro, who had taken the lead, came in with clutch troubles early in the race, so Gartmann took over followed by the Monza of Coronel. The latter pitted in lap 23 and Frankenhout took the wheel. A fateful decision, since the pace cars in lap 29 enabled Gartmann to come in and change the wheel to Döring - that gave them a huge lead, which was increased further after a puncture of Frankenhout. Division 2 was won by Kummle, while Pinkney won division 1; and not a single Dutch class win!
