Pictures

Without question, this was the most exciting race of the season so far.

Division 2
After practice, it looked like the Zakspeed duo was superior to the opposition; the only other to break the 56 seconds barrier in practice had been Obermoser - and he had a tow from Heyer in this particular lap...
But the race turned out totally different. Krebs had a new engine and this one was a really good one. The order after lap 1 was Ludwig, Obermoser, Heyer, Krebs, Schommers and Denzel, but in lap three Obermoser took the lead. Heyer countered in lap 4, in lap 5 Krebs was in the lead! A few laps later Ludwig passed Heyer for second, and two laps later he took the lead while Heyer climbed to second. Since Krebs’ car had massive oversteer the order was now as usual in 1976. A good debut for Armin Hahne, who challenged Denzel for sixth. With second place at the finish, Heyer was the 1976 champion.

Division 1
Stenzel had pole position, Schenken clocked the same time while Hezemans blew a turbo in practice (with a fourth on the grid as the result) but was in fact the main Loos contender. Wollek had problems too in practice, but it seemed to be solved in the warm-up.
Stenzel took the lead after the start, with Schenken and Hezemans following. Wollek had a great start and was fourth, while Hezemans now challenged Stenzel for the lead. In lap 8 he took over, but a puncture and a broken clutch ended the challenge. Now Stenzel was attacked by Schenken but he held the upper hand - until his engine misfired and he had to retire. Kinnunen (Evertz-934) had steadily climbed up through the field, passed Kelleners and Wollek and finished second, 4 seconds behind Schenken.
