England-1 and France-2 advance in QF D !Despite scoring the most points in the last round and winning the race thanks to a solid Eagle drive by Martin Lacina and getting a BRM to 6th, Czechia could not catch group 2nd France-2 to advance as they defended well by securing a spot on the podium by Bertrand Catroux in Eagle and another in 5th. Sweden took 2nd place in the race with Patrik Lindqvist (Eagle) and 2 other drivers scoring, but in the end the attack was not enough to go through. England-1 who was leading the group before the last race had a big enough gap to get the top place and in the end didn't need the 8 points scored. |

Spain win at Monaco but fail to qualify !A Spanish 1-2 from Gaizka Lopez (Ferrari) and Sergio Macias (Cooper) restores some pride, but it’s not enough as neighbours Portugal win the group in a tight battle with Argentina. Points finishes for Toni Mau, Alexandre Dionisio and Ricardo Gomez prove just enough to beat the South American team, after another solid performance from captain Horacio Ostoich (Lotus) and 6th place for Ignatio Genta (Brm). After fielding a depleted team, Bjorn Finnestad scored Norways only points, as their World Cup run also comes to an end. |

Hungary and Germany qualify for SF's !A win by Hungarian captain Gabor Szegletes (Eagle), plus 4th and 6th by teammates Szabolcs Balog (Eagle) and Jani Posta (Honda), secures top spot for Hungary in the final race of QF B. Not the greatest result for Germany with Claudio Callipo best, bringing his Lotus home in 5th, but good past performances prove enough for his team to qualify as group runners up. With the gap too much to pull back after the first 3 races, Australia and Italy bow out of the competition as expected, with Lotus podium finishes for Ashley Miskelly and Fulvio Barozzini. |
