In Zolder, perhaps the least loved stopover on the tour, Eggenberger again ran three cars, retaining Brancatelli and Biela from the Spa line-up, and regaining the service of Niedzwiedz. The Wolf and Nissan cars joined in again, and enlivened the action when they mixed it with the three Eggenberger cars. The Wolf car soon dropped back off the pace, but the Nissan pressed on with Grice actually threatening Soper for second.

Just when it seemed that the Sierra would be challenged head-to-head the heavens opened and flooded the circuit. Van de Poele, anticipating downpour, stopped early for wets and emerged from the onslaught with a handy lead while Soper and Grice pushed on and both crashed; as did Ludwig later.

Dieudonné took over the remaining Sierra and pushed Ravaglia to the line but the Italian held on in a tight finish to take maximum points to virtually secure the title. Following the Zolder race, only Dieudonné ·could take the title from Ravaglia, but he had to win the penultimate round at Silverstone two weeks later to do it.
