It was “Quester Day” at Aspern, since the Austrian would compete in Group 1, Group 2 and Formula 3; the expected battle with young Niki Lauda could not really take place, since Alpina didn’t bring its Monza winner to Aspern and Lauda’s contract with BRM forbade any forays in monopostos other than BRM. What remained was the Group 1 race; Lauda’s car did not run properly and he got a puncture as well, leaving the win to Quester after both having mediocre starts. The latter won the F3 race too, and then the Group 2 race took place; money from Matchbox and Denzel lured the Schnitzer BMW to Aspern, and since Neerpasch turned up as well the engine now could be opened to reveal everything was in order, so Schnitzer finally got the 10.000 Marks bonus from BMW for Monza. The car lasted the distance and that was the only worry - Quester was way faster than anything else in the race.
