| The Hermetite team before the start. In the background the Opel of the unlucky Boshuis. | At the start (or the finish?) the Blackburn/Crabtree car, in the background the interesting Abt Audi. | |||||||
 |
||||||||
| The early hours, I suppose; Walkinshaw/Fitzpatrick, followed by Peltier/Demol and Nève/Tricot. Picture supplied by Laurent Rizzo. | ||||||||

|||||||
| The Ford Capri of Alain Corbisier/Dany Swyssen, which finished 11th. | ||||||||
 |

|||||||
| Another picture of the Corbisier car. | What a great looking cars these "Francorchamps" were! The eventual winners Xhenceval/de Fierlandt here. | |||||||
 |
 |
|||||||
| The Feider/Detrin car was less lucky - iit did not finish. | A group 1 car for "Pedro"/Fontaine - second overall! | |||||||
 |
 |
|||||||
| Nève/Tricot retired... | ... just like Goris/de Croy. | |||||||
 |
 |
|||||||
| This Capri finished third. | ||||||||
 |
 |
|||||||
| The Abt Audi, I'm sure. Tenth overall, second in class. | Hecq/Toby lead err.. another Audi. | |||||||
 |
 |
|||||||
| The EBRT car of "Alix", Gillessen and Remion - 9th overall, first in class. | This nimble car had a difficult race but still finished second in class - it would lead to the title for Berndtson and Meloni... | |||||||

| A terrible weekend for the Dutch National Racing Team. After good overall results in 1973 and 1974, they now entered a full group 1,5 Commodore alongside their usual Group 1 car. The Levi's car is in my view one of the prettiest cars of the period - the good news is that it is being rebuilt now (February 2004). Alas, the Group 1.5 car retired with engine trouble - and worse, the Group 1 car had a terrible accident during the night, Wim Boshuis losing his life.
