It was an early start for the Fast Seventies drivers as the first race began at ten past eight on Saturday. Unfortunately, not everyone was fully awake, which led to some collisions and retirements halfway through. Wim Kuijl had been faster than Daniel Schrey in the Porsche 911 K1 during qualifying and proved that it wasn't a fluke, leading the race from start to finish in the Ford Capri RS3100. Behind Schrey, it was Manfredo Rossi Di Montelera in a Group 4 Porsche 930 who claimed the third podium spot. Three drivers were registered for Cees Lubbers' BMW CSL; alongside Cees were Arie Ruitenbeek and Cor Euser. As it turned out, this didn’t matter much for the result, which was a fourth place. Manfred Pledl from Austria was the fastest Escort driver this weekend, finishing sixth in his RS1600, with Jan-Willem Oosterhagen in P.7, despite having to manage with one camshaft less.
A nice newcomer was Dominique Holvoet, a descendant of the famous Belgian Toyota racing family, with a very beautiful Celica. In the small class it was Ferron Mulder, who made his debut in the Mini Clubman 1275GT prepared by Span Performance for Cees Lubbers. That was clearly well done because Timo, Carst, and Klaas Span were all left watching! Onno Vlaanderen in the Davrian was able to keep up with Ferron, but unfortunately, the Imp engine gave up after three laps. The St. Paul Capris had a tough weekend, with two Belcar races on the program. In race 2, only Audrey van Ham was still participating. Schrey, Rossi Di Montelera, and Lubbers moved up a place and occupied the podium. It seemed for a moment that it would turn into a complete Porsche party, as Hans de Graaf held third place for a few laps. In the end, he finished sixth, as Gerd Rijper in the Porsche RSR and Manfred Pledl in the Escort RS passed him. Jan-Willem Oosterhagen again finished seventh; the race was too short for the drivers starting from the back.
Marcel finished ninth behind Ansgar Massman in a Porsche 911. Ferron Mulder was again the first Mini, followed by Timo, Carst, and Klaas Span, with Pascal Grymonprez bringing up the rear in the Simca Rallye. The third race on Sunday afternoon had a somewhat smaller field of participants. Schrey drove away in the 915 K1, while Euser followed at a respectful distance in the CSL. Behind them, it was between Rijper, Pledl, and de Graaf. Unfortunately, Hans had to head to the pits after 8 laps. So it was Gerd Rijper who could conclude his weekend with a podium. Pledl was too fast for Frijlink, as they finished in 4th and 5th places. 'Wild Willem' Oosterhagen had a moment when he outbraked Michel Vereeken in the GT corner. He braked extremely late, and Vereeken tried to go with him but had a moment of oversteer. Oosterhagen gave space but went onto the grass and spun. That cost him a lot of time, but he managed to recover well and was able to overtake Geert Boels (Escort), Lex Proper (911), and also Vereeken (Escort) again to finish seventh. Ferron Mulder was again the winner in the small class, Timo Span eventually conceded seven seconds. Klaas Span was third and Grymonprez fourth.
