A new year, and cars from all over Europe: this is Albert's 1977 Schnitzer 2002 Turbo.
|
Kristofferson from Denmark with his 320. |
 |
 |
Ketterer had a Zakspeed Turbo Escort.
|
Like Albert from Austria: the Oppitzhauser team. This is the second Schnitzer 2002 Turbo for Oppitzhauser himself.
|
 |
 |
A new car, and not a pretty one: Isert with his unique Alfetta. A non-starter.
|
 |
 |
The GS team had four (!) cars in the paddock, for Höttinger, Bürger, Krankenberg and Schimpf.
|
 |
 |
Brandenberger's 320 from Switzerland.
|
The Gelo team in its tent. Schurti, Wollek and Fitzpatrick - a team full of heroes.
|
 |
 |
Merl's LM Porsche.
|
Reigning champion Ertl out on the soaking track.
|
 |
 |
Ertl
would have a spare Capri most of the season (just like he had a spare
car in 1978) but it wasn't ready yet. This is the second Turbo Escort,
with rear wheels which seem to big for the little car.
|
Winkelhock took over one of Ertl's 1978 cars. His new mount would appear much later in the season.
|
 |
 |
Another Turbo 320: Hohmann and his own car.
|
Some oversteer on Höttinger's right-hand driven 320, ready for a works Turbo which wasn't there yet. |
 |
 |
Schimpf in his atmo-320.
|
Albert in his 2002.
|
 |
 |
The other 1978 Ertl car was bought by Albert and driven for the occasion by Dauer.
|
Krebs had faded after 1975, and 1979 would not bring not much results either.
|
 |
 |
Ketterer on his Pirellis with some oversteer too.
|
Harald Grohs drove the second Oppitzhauser car, but would move on to Hohmann until that team folded.
|
 |
 |
Kristofferson in trouble.
|
The red numbers indicate Group 2 and 4. This is Krebs' teammate Reich and his BMW 320.
|
 |
 |
Still going strong: Hegels and his BMW 320.
|
Winfried Vogt retired his 320.
|
 |
 |
Bremmekamp had a 320 too.
|
Bungard brought a Kadett GT/E.
|
 |
 |
Rob Redeker and his faithful Alpine.
|
The new star: Ludwig driving the sensational Kremer K3.
|
 |
|
Plankenhorn, very much number 2, was left with the 1978 ex-Wollek car.
