Basche only was one point ahead of Heyer and six clear of Glemser when the penultimate round took place at the Norisring, a venue with a Nazi background but which would grow in only a few years to the biggest DRM event - wiping out its tragic Interserie past. The circuit around the Dutzendteich lake was hard on brakes and engines - and it had a surprise in store when Steckkönig claimed pole, Heyer second fastest, third another Carrera with Stenzel and Menzel only fourth. Division 2 saw Kelleners fastest in front of May and Basche, the first Escort with Glemser only fourth. The second GS 2002, thought to assist Basche, was only sixth fastest and would not help Basche anyway - the prop shaft broke in lap 3. After a race long battle, Glemser finished just ahead of Kelleners, who stole valuable points away from Basche, who was third but over a minute back. He had an entertaining fight with May, only decided when the Schnitzer driver retired with gearbox troubles. A lucky Heyer could win division 1, but only after Stenzel retired from the lead with a broken clutch. Menzel (first a puncture, then electrics) and Steckkönig (gearbox) retired as well, so Schickentanz finished second, Fritzinger third. |
