Franz Wittmann, Sr. finished third in the second works' Audi. Henri Toivonen put on a good show in his Ascona 400, being a spectator favourite, but a series of technical failures (changing the rear axle twice) pushed him as far back as 18th.

His teammate Walter Röhrl crashed out after his steering failed. All of the Nissans (Salonen, Pond, Mendes) broke down, the differential failed in Björn Waldegård's Celica, and the front suspension collapsed on Jean-Luc Thérier's Alméras-Porsche 911 SC. Six out of six of the new 1.2-liter, Group B Citroën Visa Trophées reached the finish; in part because of the large number of retirements, the best one gained a fifth position – ahead of some significantly more powerful cars.
