Preliminary remarks on the point
values : For orientation and classification of the performance, the points achieved in 1985 according to the current evaluation system are also listed.
The placements would have been shifted from twelve to fourteen:

  • Franco Saar as thirteenth and the fourteenth Léopold Marien would each have moved up one rank.
  • German Klimow in twelfth would have moved two places down.

Of course, these comparisons are only indicative, because the different standards of the time must apply as a basis.
