Pictures

The Volvos were declared illegal a few hours before the start (front suspension) but an appeal saved the field from a debacle. The race itself was a bit dull, Brancatelli taking the lead with a fight for second between Walkinshaw, Hahne (both Rover) and Granberg (Volvo). The latter first lost a wheel and retired later with a broken differential. Lindström took over from Brancatelli and won the race, with Walkinshaw second while Hahne was demoted to fifth after a puncture. The Schnitzer BMW team had chosen the wrong tires and finished a lowly 7th and 8th.
