This airfield track with its nearly 2.5 km straight called for a long gearing - which in turn compromised acceleration from the many corners.

Race 1
Among the under-1000 cc cars was one of the championship leaders, Koch. He started from the front row, but it came to nothing - a puncture robbed him of any points; and it was the first time he had bought brand new slicks instead of second-hand ones... Edel took over, his tyre choice ideal for the track which was still damp. Behind him, a fight took place between NSU drivers Zirn and Behrens, while Rische closed in - the latter finishing third behind Edel and Zirn.

Race 2
The powerful Escort of Steinert should suit the circuit - and it did, he passed Tubbesing (Audi) soon, while the latter had to fight Seybold - until the Fiat had to retire. Now Sander challenged the Audi, even passing him for a short while. But the finishing order was Steinert, Tubbesing and Sander.

Race 3
Wolf was on the front row, sharing it with the Alfa’s of Meyer and Fischer. Again, the right choice of tyres was crucial; the Alfa’s had chosen wets, while Wolf and fellow NSU pilot Bergmeister settled for slicks. Wolf was away fastest, but the Alfa’s stormed by, and he was even passed by Bergmeister and Schmidt halfway lap 1. In lap 2, Schmidt (Fiat) outbraked the leading Fischer and when Bergmeister tried to do the same, the result was damaged bodywork and a broken rim on the Jägermeister NSU. Wolf managed to pass Meyer in the mean time, and was lucky that Fischer expensive 16-valve engine blew. But Wolf had to pit to clean his window - there was Alfa oil all over it. Wolf stormed away, and while he managed to pass Meyer once again, the Fiat was out of reach - at least on the track. A protest against the Fiat’s engine was rejected, but the car was underweight - handing victory to Wolf.

Race 4
Henzler was another driver with 40 points so far; but there was fierce competition in the class. While Henzler start was OK, Dahlhäuser soon went by and so was Fritzinger (Toyota). Behind them, a fierce battle raged between Henzler, Hartge (BMW) and Beilharz (BMW). The finishing order was Dahlhäuser, Fritzinger, Hartge, Henzler. A protest by Henzler against Hartge secured third for the latter - Hartge rejected inspection and went home.

Race 5
A combined race for the remaining touring cars; Hennige and Schommers had been fastest in practice, but Schommers appeared to have made his entry too late and was excluded of the meeting.
Initially, Heinemann (Capri) took the lead, but Frau Odenthal and Cancian passed him. Waltraud went on to win, while Cancian feared his engine to fail and went into the pits shortly before the flag fell. The two-litre class was won by Hennige, who led a trio of 16-valve BMW’s to the finish.

Race 6
The last remaining 40-point competitor was Dören, and he was the only one to score full points here as well, despite the challenging Schütz and Laub. Sindel won the over-2000 class.
