This must be right after the start; Whitmore leading in the Alan Mann Cortina, with a bunch of Cortinas behind him. |
A telling picture in more than one way. It's the little BMW of Åke Persson on the inside of the huge Mercedes of either Böhringer or Waxenberger. BMW would become a major force in touriongcarracing ever since; while Mercedes was already fading, only to rise again at the end of the 80's. |
Karlsson and Rothstein on the inside of Alan Mann himself. |
Now it's Lindberg on the inside of the Galaxie. |
The Jonsson-incident: the Fiat 2300 coupé quits in the middle of the track. |
Driver gets out, but the car doesn't mpve easily. |
Some hairy situations... |
... and a spin of Vernaeve. |
Whitmore avoids trouble... |
... but team boss Alan Mann pushes Karlsson into the Fiat. |
A lot of damage for both. |
The Saab manages to get going - but not for long. |
Karlsson would retire, Ursula Wirth drives on. |
