A meeting which would never be forgotten by those present took place at Zandvoort, to be more precise the race for division 2 and 3 for the European Touring Car Challenge. And it was no fight for the podium: Hahne and Ickx had a monumental battle for... sixth overall. The cars went sideways at every possible location, bumped into each other and seemed to have a lot of fun together; although the black flag was shown in standby position, it was never used, fortunately! The battle ended when Ickx lost a wheel of his Cortina.

Division 3 had started 30 seconds ahead of the division 2 cars, so Ljungfeldt had a lonely race since the other two cars in the class retired or finished at the tail of the field. Behind him, the Cortinas of Whitmore and Procter circulated together, behind them the still new Alfa Romeo GTA’s of Bussinello and Slotemaker, the latter beating the Italian.

In the first race, newly crowned European champion Swart won the race outright in fine style, the only one not being lapped the 850 cc class winner Ahrens. Behind them, the Dutch cars of Jonker and van Osch had a fight until Jonker retired.
