No Ford works cars here, only a single Sierra entry from Jolly Club which retired and anyway wasn’t a match for the BMW M3s. But it there was a little excitement; Oestreich and Quester had a coming together in the first corner after the start. Pirro retired soon, Cecotto spun while lapping a backmarker, Oestreich had to pit for tires and Capelli lost third and fourth gear. In the end, it was a victory for Vogt and Quester, followed by Oestreich and Heger; behind these two M3s, there were three BMW 635s among the first five.
