The circus went from Innsbruck to Aspern with more or less the same field. Bussinello was replaced by “Nanni” Galli, rumours had it that the young works driver had already totalled five GTAs so far... That said, Galli was faster than Rindt in both practice and race, and while the German/Austrian retired with a broken gear lever Galli won the race by a large margin over Stommelen in his privateer Alfa. Third was the new Austrian champion Quester in his BMW, he beat Greil who finished fourth and second in the championship. Baumgartner won the 1300 class, and the reason Bodmer only finished second in class was discovered after the race; a plug lead had come loose so the Glas only ran on three cylinders. The works Abarth of Mantzel had no trouble winning the 1000 cc class, while in 700 the Italian Abarth 695 SS of Zanetti beat the Steyr-Puchs fair and square.
