After the oil crisis hit motorsport hard, it was a relief that the 1974 Rundstreckenpokal could start the season after all, since the ONS lifted all bans.
No Steyr-Puchs anymore, since their homologation ran out.

Race A
The most interesting car was the 16-valve 1100 Escort of Steinert - but it didn’t run well, so Sander won the race after both Franz and Schmidt retired. The 850 cc class was won by the 850 Mini of Rische.

Race B
Hans Sauer (Imp) retired just after the start, Tubbesing took the lead over Wolf (both NSU) with Casteel (Imp) following. The two NSU’s had a terrific battle with Tubbesing winning just a few tenths in front of Wolf.

Race C
An armada of NSU TT couldn’t keep Meyer (Alfa Romeo) from victory.

Race D
Many strong entries here, like Henzler with a 16-valve 1602 BMW. Selzer and Henzler took the lead, but both made mistakes and soon Scherf took over, closely followed by Rösser and Boller (Escort TC). When Scherf ran into engine troubles, Rösser took over and won.

Race E
Polesitter Hennige was pre-race favourite, duly took the lead and disappeared into the distance. Alas, in the last lap his engine expired, handing the lead over to Heit - whose engine gave up soon after, so Otten won in front of the unfortunate Heit.

Race F
Krebs in his Gerstmann ex-works Capri won, in front of two other Capris. Kloft jumped the start so Drees won the GT class.

Race G
Dören won in his VW-Porsche, beating two other “VoPo’s”.
