Conny Andersson took an easy win in his 753 from the 743 of team mate Conny Ljungfeldt third was “guest” driver Anders Olofsson in another 753. Olofsson was lucky to be racing after writing off the works GRD 375 in testing in Denmark the day previously. GRDs took the next three places, Porky Thyling in sixth had been challenging Andersson in the early stages with his GRD 374 but several spins dropped him down the order.
Ingvar Carlsson was another GRD runner to feature well until he was forced to retire with a flat battery.
