Despite a limited number of competitors (16), the "Production" race was exciting. Favourites were the Alfettas of Cudini and Snobeck and the Rover of Metge, though pole went to Lapeyre and his BMW 323. The outcome of the race was different, though. At first, it was Schlesser who led, but a big fight developed between the Alfas, Rover and BMWs, culminating in risky overtakes, overheated brakes and tires. Beltoise and his Peugeot 505 stayed out of trouble, saving brakes and tires and then passed Cudin, Snobeck, Lapeyre and then Metge and found himself in the lead 10 laps from the finish. When the checkered flag was dropped, the order was Beltoise, Metge, Cudini and Snobeck. |
