TV was brought to Diepholz, together with a healthy entry. Unfortunately, only division 1 was to be covered.

Alpina brought a car for Lauda (flown in from Silverstone), the works BMW was given to Stuck, while Menzel took the seat of Kelleners in the Koepchen car.
The BMW were clearly the fastest, Heyer finding himself to his grief back in row 3, behind the Kremer Carrera duo.

After the start, the lead changed a few times between Stuck and Lauda, until Stuck left the road with a broken track rod. But Lauda retired too a little later with a broken gearbox, despite it had been changed before the race. Now Stommelen took over with a fine drive, followed by Heyer, while Schickentanz had problems with jammed brakes. Heyer closed in on Stommelen, but when he was thinking about the final attack he was blocked by the lapped Odenthal, perhaps a revenge since the girl was forbidden to use the works colours on her private Capri (she now used Fritzinger’s colours - weird). So Stommelen took the victory, Heyer second, Schickentanz third.

Koinigg, replacing the injured Glemser, won division 2, Menzel second; he had the lead for a while but fell back with a misfire but could not be catched by Basche. Interesting: the division 2 race was stopped after lap 2 when the rain set in; everybody could change tires, and the race was started over again. A wise decision.
