Hockenheim Preis der Nationen 1970



Nascar in Europe! Not really, of course, but a bunch of European-based American cars had a race. Here's Leech leading Muir and Gardner. Leading the Euro division is Furtmayr followed by Birrane and Lund.
Gardner won outright. "Tiny" Lund and the small Commodore - with some NASCAR modifications.
Well, what can one say. It was very early days in Capri preparation - McNamara, who missed so many races in Germany was present with a Capri and some aerodynamic tweaks...
Leech was disqualified since he missed a chicane - in fact, some of the chicane seems to block his grille...
