The drivers’ championship was to be decided today - an exciting affair; Hezemans was on 39 points, Abt had 40. But the Dutch NAV, representing the office for the ETCC, had sensational news; after all, in division 1 at the Salzburgring there had been less then ten starters, therefore no championship points for Abt there; so the new order was: Hezemans, 39 points; Truci, 33; Abt, 31.

Autodelta hired Uberti and Hessel with their Abarths to give Abt a little more opposition in division 1. But the bad news for Abt was that only 10 cars were going to make the race - and both Hessel and “Big Jock” had massive problems during practice. Abt’s mechanics helped Hessel until late at night, and relief came when both cars made the grid.

Then, minutes before the race started, Uberti was withdrawn, leaving Abt in anger.

Either Hezemans or Truci would become champion. It would not have made any difference in the end; Abt broke a valve rocker and retired in lap 18.
Hezemans took the lead and went full force, winning the event in style of a great champion. The Capri’s, forced to follow the tempo, broke; Glemser with injection pump failure, Piot’s engine ran its bearings. So Alfa won the event, taking the first 4 places.
