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.
