The May Day Trial, sponsored by Bob Neil Motors and organised by the Fiat Car Club of Victoria, was unsurprisingly held on 1 May.
Results showed that Keith Winter / Peter Maurer in a Maxda RX3 and Stuart Lister / Helen Lister in a Lancer were equal first on 11 points. Third were David Molloy / Ian Salmon in a Leyland P76 on 16 points and 4th Ian Thorpe / Martin Warneke on 18 points.
The first Fiat was Mike Cary / Gary Burke in a 124 station wagon in 7th position outright.
