Fastest in Division 1 practice had been “Pam” and Goedemans, and these two led the race , albeit in a bitter fight. After 27 laps, Goedemans had a small margin over Pam, but in lap 28 both were missing. Goedemans had lost it at “Bos in”, probably on the oil of Dijkstra - and rolled. Pam saw what happened, braked, spun and rolled his car too... both drivers were uninjured - alas, it was to be the last fight between the two since Ab would lose his life the next week. Two Mini Coopers took over the fight, eventually Handley won, the NSU of van Oorschot came in second, and the 850 Abarth of Swart was third.

Fastest in division 2 was Gardner, who led the race until his retirement with gearbox trouble. Chiotakis (Alfa Romeo GTA) took over, closely followed by Lubin in the Cortina, who even took the lead once in a while. A little further down the order the works Minis of Rhodes and Neal were leading the 1300 class, followed by the SRT Minis of Dudok van Heel and Oskamp. But then the first problems arose. Lubin pitted with engine troubles, Gardner retired with a broken gearbox and Oskamp retired just before the end. Chiotakis modified his bodywork when he left the track but could continue. Dudok van Heel had a nice battle with Jacquemin (Alfa Romeo 1300 GTJ) but he too had to retire. In the end, Rhodes won the race.

Uneventful was the race in division 3: Hezemans was too fast for the others, Pon retired in lap 2 already and BMW could not keep up.
