Note It is not known whether a 5th round was ever held. It was scheduled for Prelog, Yugoslavia, but was cancelled due to the rebuilding of the track, and there was a plan to restage the meeting at that track in early 1986. But it seems more likely, in view of the programme shown below, that the meeting was held instead at Badia Polesine, Italy, on 27.10, though no results of that meeting are available.
