Preview
As usual, the classic Belgian road race had one of the best fields of any of this year's International races : Agostini, Read, Sheene, Cecotto, Länsivuori, Nixon, Rougerie, Schwärzel and Steinhausen headed the entry list on the ultra-fast Chimay circuit.
Four solo classes and a sidecar race where scheduled, and although the race distances were decent, the nature of the Chimay circuit meant that this amounted to 20 minute sprints ! Cecotto set a new track record during the F750 race, with a lap at a stunning 214.8 km/h average speed. Helped by a glorous weather, the event was a total success, with a reported 60,000 spectators attending on race day.
