Before the race: Schurti being interviewed... |
... and Wollek thinking about how to beat Hezemans. |
Few pictures of the paddock this year; not much seems to have changed. Here's Schurti's car. |
Practice, I guess: the "turbo" Capri of Gerd Ruch. |
Hezemans in the Gelo Porsche... | ... this is teammate Ludwig, very much third wheel on the wagon. His revenge in 1979 would be sweet, however. |
"Moby
Dick" would only race in the "Geldrennen", so no points would be taken
away from customer teams in their fight against the Division 2 BMW of
Ertl. |
|
Lafosse turned up for the Geldrennen too. | Heyer's championship hopes were limited, but a division 2 win would be nice. |
Jürgen Weiler was the third Zakspeed car entered, but no turbo power for him. |
Ertl had another win this weekend. |
Höttinger wasn't as brilliant here as he had been before. | Brun with his Heidegger-turbo BMW wasn't very lucky too. |
Manhalter with the Schnitzer 2002 finished ninth in Division 2. |
Lothar Wagner brought his BMW too; he finished tenth. |
Kornmann was a unsurprising non-qualifier. | Nussbaumer would finish ninth in division 2. |
Surer returned to the track where he had made a name for himself (albeit for the wrong reasons) but finished a creditable third, and first atmo car. | Quester finished fourth, second atmo car. |
Ketterer retired his Turbo Escort on Pirellis. | Kristoffersen finished eleventh. |
Division 1 grid forming: Wollek on P2... | ... Hezemans on pole. |
Row 3: Stuck in the IMSA 2.1 BMW turbo. | Row 5: Schornstein and "Winter". |
Winkelhock again - he would finish second (like last year). | The Indianapolis start of the Geldrennen - Hezemans on pole, then Wollek, Ludwig and Ickx. |
Ickx with Fitzpatrick close behind. | |
... the IMSA BMW... | ... and that's Hahne in the Turbo Escort. |
