It was a small miracle that Cudini and Snobeck could win this race with their Juma-BMW 635. The car looked more like a wreck than a winner, since it had Hollinger in the Eggenberger car on top of them after an incident at the chicane. Hollinger was out, but the Juma car could continue after a few spins.
The race itself was chaotic; the wetter changed from dry to wet and back again and there was fire in the pits.
Cudini and Snobeck could win since they used an elder type of Pirelli wets, and this was the key to the victory. Stuck and Quester finished second, hampered by vibrations and Walkinshaw and Heyer finished third in the Jaguar after too many tire changes.
