A fine entry this race. A new works Abarth was brought for Goedemans and Hezemans - but it did not handle well, even after the springs of Goedemans’ own car were used. Finally, they would start in the SRT car, which had been a cool 20 seconds faster. Swart had his troubles too: the Jolly Club truck, in which Swart’s works car was brought to Germany, was too high for the viaduct - and unfortunately, Ed’s car was on the first stock, at the front... the roof was peeled off like a sardine tin, so Sally Swart’s dry comment was: “Oh well, just drive it like that, the wetter is fine anyway...”. After repairs, the handling was not very good, and the engine was down on power. So the engine was replaced, and since the track was already closed Ed and mechanic Karel drove out on the countryside of the Eiffel, 8500 rpm in fourth - until they met a flock of sheep, blocking the road. Luckily, the car stopped in time. BMW entered two cars, Alan Mann brought two Escort TCs, and a flock of Porsches and Alfa Romeos rounded of the entry. Fastest in practice was Pon, in the black and yellow Chiquita-banana sponsored Porsche 911 nicknamed “The Banana Boat”. He led the first lap, with Kelleners in his orange Porsche on his tail. Surprisingly, both works BMWs were close as well, and after Kelleners had taken the lead, Hahne passed Pon too. The handling of the banana boat had deteriorated obviously, but no-one knew why. They kept going, and since the leading Porsche retired they were still heading for third, behind the two BMWs - but Fröhlich could not keep up with the pace of the Swedish Porsche of Gunnarson/Rothstein. The leading BMW dropped back to enable a photo-finish, with Porsche third and fourth. The fragile Alfa Romeo GTA/SA finished 5th in the hands of Casoni/Vaccarella, the Broadspeed Escort GT won the 1300 cc class, Henne/Basche won the 1600 cc class, after the Escort TCs both retired. Goedemans and Hezemans won the 1000 cc class, but not without drama. Goedemans tried to keep ahead of the Broadspeed 1300 GT, but he went off and damaged the car. It was repaired, and Hezemans took over, nearly a lap down on “Pam”. But the Abarth “Pam” did not start after a pit stop and was wheeled away, leaving the class victory to the Dutch duo. The 850 class finally was won by Swart and Zanetti. |
