The traditional warm-up for the 1000 km race on Saturday lost one of its favourites long before the race - the Schnitzer car for Jacky Ickx was not ready on time. Ronnie Peterson, destined to drive a Capri, was not there too; fastest in practice were now Lauda (needing a second engine in the process), Mass and Gardner. The start saw Lauda and Mass running away from the field, leaving Muir, Peltier, Bourgoignie and Christmann behind. Shortly afterwards, Muir had to give up, while Christmann’s engine threw a rod, just like Peltier. Lauda and Mass were going faster and faster; in lap 10, Mass took the lead - but a little later, his wheel came adrift, complete with the half shaft. Lauda had no opposition now and cruised to victory, followed by Bourgoignie. Barrios came third, and Peter Hanson came fifth with the 1300 BDA Escort. |
