|
|
|
|
|
The #1 BMW Italia car. |
|
Strolling trhough the pitlane: the Schnitzer team... |
|
|
|
|
|
... with the Stuck/Grohs/Brun car. |
|
SJA Racing with Boutsen, Ballot-Léna and Sabine - the Dakar man. |
|
|
|
|
|
The lead Jaguar of Walkinshaw/Dieudonné. |
|
The interesting back of the car... |
|
|
|
|
|
... and the even more interesting engine bay. |
|
The second car of Brundle, Percy and Calderari. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Lucky Strike team, with a battered 528 which would finish a creditable 7th. |
|
The Hartge car of Vojtech and Enge. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The shape of things to come - one of the TWR Rovers. |
|
|
And this is the other one. |
|
|
|
|
|
Tassin, Heyer and Hahne shared this car. |
|
Schlesser, Xhenceval and Bourgoignie had the #22. |
|
|
|
|
|
CC Racing in trouble with the Mustang... |
|
... the engine... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
... and it was able to take the start. |
|
|
... but the car looked the part... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yet another Bastos car: Guitteny, Bleynie and Guérin. |
|
|
Waterloo Motors' BMW with Snobeck/Cudini and Peltier. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like every year, there was a Camaro from Holland; Moritz shared with Oeberius Kapteyn and Witmeur. |
|
Splendid view; and the Alfa GTV6 of Lombardi, Naddeo and Marazzi. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Autolodi's Alfetta... |
|
|
|
|
... Luigi's #42 car... |
|
|
|
|
... together with #43... |
|
#44 is yellow too, but is in fact a Jolly Club car, just like its neighbour #45. In the background maybe #40, another Jolly club car. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
... together with #43... |
|
|
|
|
#48 is the Dutch DNRT Mazda. |
|
|
|
|
Some cars of the IMC Toyota team, at the front Close/Ide/Janssens. |
|
|
|
|
|
Tension rises... |
|
|
|
|
.. and there they go! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The usual picture of the start of Spa - a little messy this time, it seems. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An early retirement was this BMW of Bos/Duby/Krucker: this lost wheel meant the end. |
|
|
|
|
Another non-finisher: the CC racing Mustang. |
|
|
|
|
Pitstop for the #1 car of Kelleners/Grano/Cecotto - they would retire too. |
|
Brun/Stuck/Grohs in one Schnitzer BMW... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two Capris of team "Michel Vaillant". |
|
Quester/Winkelhock/Rossi in the other Schnitzer BMW. |
|
|
|
|
Jaguar was unlucky at Spa: #6 retired with back axle problems, #7 with gearbox failure. But they would be back... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And the car lost its way sometimes... |
|
|
For years, a 450 SLC Mercedes raced at Spa - with little result. This time, it raced until 3 hours before the end. |
|
|
|
|
The Dutch camaro had seen better days - it retired in the 1rst hour. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Kissling Manta met the guardrails in the early hours of the race. |
|
Joosen, Metge and Soper drove this Rover. |
|
|
|
|
|
Soon, there were troubles. |
|
But #20 reached the podium in the end. |
|
|
|
|
|
Walter Brun looking in despair - the car retired in the third hour. |
|
#44 in for a refuelling stop. |
|
|
|
|
|
More early retirements: 6th hour, Delcourt, Vanoli and Baert... |
|
... at the same time as Snobeck, Cudini and Peltier. |
|
|
|
|
|
In the night, on the SJA car, I guess the brake pads are changed. |
|
But car #19's differential cried enough. |
|
|
|
|
|
Up on the jacks: a routine stop for number 1. |
|
This car retired early in the morning. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Hartge team retired late in the race, first this one... |
|
... and two hours later this car. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of the last retirements was the proud number 1, Kelleners, Grano and Cecotto. |
|
The Luxemburg Capri of Feider/Wolff/Beauchef. |
|
|
|
|
|
One year old and already outdated: the 528i of Raes/Verhaegen/van Rompuy. |
|
Fermine/de Liedekerke/Katsers retired. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Van Hove car retired. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Seikel/Schörg/Nowal retired as well. |
|
Carlier/Nève/Martin retired too. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Danish Toyota retired too. |
|
The 5-cylinder Audi 80 (called "4000") finished 16th. The car is blue, actually... |
|
|
|
|
|
The Capris were still alive, though outsiders now. #32 finished 12th overall. |
|
This car was third in class, 11th overall with Micangeli, Gallo and "Spiffero". |
|
|
|
|
|
Tenth: this opposite-lock BMW of Hesnault, Rousselot and Dermange. |
|
Another Capri finished 9th with Hanon/Van De Velde. |
|
|
|
|
|
Fine result; 7th overall for "Davit", Boucher and Hoebeke. |
|
6th overall and class winners: Rinaldo Drovandi, Gianfranco Brancatelli and Emilio Zapico with the Autolodi car. |
|
|
|
|
|
Fourth as the swansong: a nice result for the good old Capri, with veterans Semoulin/de Dryver/Pirenne. |
|
Third: Rover Vitesse, Allam/Lovett. |
|
|
|
|
|
Schnitzer finished second with Quester/Winkelhock/Rossi derspite this hairy driving style of Winkelhock. |
|
Another victory for Juma: Tassin/Heyer/Hahne. |
