After last years’ BMW victory, the Munich manufacturer was again favourite for overall honours. Fastest in practice was the Alpina 2002 of Stuck and Huber, second the Koepchen car of Kelleners/Kauhsen, third the Escort TC of Schommers/Menzel. Alpina entered a second 2002, while the Faltz team brought two CS coupés; Grab brought a beautiful Capri with had a mildly tuned AVO engine of 180 HP. Steinmetz entered two cars, but only the Kadett of Schüler/Fröhlich took the start. No Alfa GTAms here, only a few Juniors took part. The first car to retire was the Grab Capri. After two laps, the Faltz coupé of Neuhaus was in the lead, followed by Kelleners, Fröhlich, Schultze-Oversohl, Huber and Von Hohenzollern. Fröhlich retired: after fiddling with the fuel system before the race, the Kadett lost 50 litres of its fuel, but Fröhlich tried to drive the normal stint with predictable results. Steinmetz went mad. After three hours, the cars in the same lap were Neuhaus/Treser, Pankl/von Hohenzollern, Schommers/Menzel, Stuck/Huber, Peitz/Breinsberg and Eisenschenk/Stoffel. 8 o’clock in the evening and the rain started. The lap times rose, and small or big repairs were done in the pits. The change of a gearbox lasted 49 minutes instead of the 45 minutes maximum, Neuhaus and Treser were out. After 12 hours, 64 cars were still in the race. Stuck and Huber were in the lead now, Bergner/Jaeger (BMW) second, followed by Pankl, Kuhlmann, Faltz and Hoffmann/Breuer with their Manta. Six hours later, five BMWs were up front: Stuck, Pankl, Faltz, Eisenschenk and Bergner. But three hours later, higher oil consumption than usual set the alarm bells for Stuck and Huber. It slowed and came to a standstill just 1,5 hours before the end, handing the victory to team-mates Pankl and Von Hohenzollern. |
