Car info: 1978 Cars
The first round of the 1978 ETCC promised to be even duller than your average 1977 race; Jaguar and Alpina had pulled the plug, so a handful of privateers remained, spiced with local entrants which in the worst case (like here) did not have a national Group 2 championship and therefore could offer little else than some Group 1B machinery. |
