A bunch of the new Porsche Carrera RSR’s took the start of the first round of what was now a real championship.

The first heat on Saturday was combined with the German Rundstrecken Meisterschaft, like last year. Steckkönig was in the lead, followed by Schickentanz in the Oldenkott car. Fitzpatrick retired soon with gearbox problems, the engine overrevving to 9200 rpm. Both Steckkönig and Schickentanz retired, leaving Ballot-Lena the victory in front of Haldi.

For heat 2, Fitzpatrick and Schickentanz could start again, without hope of points. Fitzpatrick got a new lap record and won this heat in front of Ballot-Lena and Schickentanz.

Overall victory therefore for Ballot-Lena, second Haldi and third Simonsen with a 911S.
