Despite the long journey, all favourites and works teams were present at the street track of Budapest; and even some drivers on holiday took part, like Hans Koster and Ed Swart - Ed driving the tired BMW 700 for the first time in his life. Their class was combined with the 850 cc cars (not unusual for Swart) and they even managed second in class behind a works Saab.
Hahne won overall in fine style with Whitmore second - the shape of things to come.
