Drovandi, Cremer and Pirenne drove this Luigi Alfa Romeo.

|
|
Lombardi and Francia shared this Jolly Club car...
|
... while we wouldn't see this other Jolly Club car again this weekend.
|
|
|
Hartge brought two cars: this one for Enge...
|
... and this one for Vojtech.
|
 |
 |
This is a second Drury Alfa, either reserve or not qualified. |
A BMW 635 for Haezebrouck, probably a non-qualifier as well. |
 |
 |
The engine and the whole car: the MG Metro Turbo, one of the many Leyland cars in the race. |
 |
 |
Practice pictures. The number 1 Jag: Heyer and Walkinshaw. |
|
 |
 |
Calderari and Sears drove #2. |
Number three was driven by Percy and Nicholson, here followed by the #27 Volvo GTM car of Delcourt, Dieudonné and Baert. |
 |
 |
Two Schnitzer cars: the usual #4 car with Stuck and Quester, a modest #5 for Ravaglia and Danner. |
 |
 |
Grano and Müller Jr shared this BMW Italia 635...
|
... Kelleners and Brancatelli the other. |
 |
 |
There were quite some Rovers present as well. Three works cars, here the #19 Pond/Schlesser car. |
 |
|
Felder and Hamelmann a private 635; good to see Weisberg still sponsoring a race car. |
|
 |
 |
This looks like Sawyer-Hoare's car, but I can't find him in the entry list. |
The second GTM Volvo; this is the Pirnay/Nčve car. |
 |
 |
The Soper/Hahne Rover. |

Yet another Volvo for Stureson and Persson. |
hi Starion: another one not on my entry list. |

 |
 |
Row 1 and row 2: Three Jaguars and a Rover at the front. |
|
 |
 |
First BMW on row three, while the Schnitzer car was down in row 6. |
|
 |
 |
... and the're away! |
|
 |
 |
Some hairy action going into Woodcote for the first time.
|
|
 |
 |
The bunch jostle for position into the chicane at the end of lap 2. |
Weaver/Thackwell. BTCC regular James Weaver was partnered by Mike Thackwell for this race. |
 |
 |
Drovandi/Cremer/Pirenne. Drovandi spins after contact with a VW Golf. |
|
 |
 |
Pond/Schlesser. Another outing for British rallyman Pond in the works Rover. |
Kelleners/Brancatelli. The winners splashed through the rain to win. |
 |
 |
But the coulds thickened and it became dark... |
This
BMW (Dorchy/Ballot-Léna) trails catch fencing as a result of being the
first spinner in the downpour that left six wrecks at Woodcote corner. |
And then... mayhem at Woodcote... |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
From
a different angle. Only four cars are parked in the wall at the moment
(!), and the car on fire is that of Williams. The Voitch/Enge BMW is
just coming into view backwards, but he managed to stay out of the wall. |
 |
 |
"Regenmeister" Stuck had to hand over to Quester just as the rain started to fall. |
It sure looked dark.
|
 |
 |
And wet: this Jag survived and finished second.
|
A Terry Drury Alfetta chasing I guess Clark and Sutherland.
|
 |
 |
Lindström and Olofsson finished sixth...
|
... while this Golf fell apart somewhere.
