The DTM support race to the WTCC event had a surprise entry for Ludwig, who replaced Schneider who had an F3 race at Zeltweg. He couldn’t score points though (heavens knows why not, perhaps to lose Schneider’s handicap weight - there were more one-off entries in the DTM).
Another substitution was Niedzwiedz for Biela for the very same reason, and Alpina brought two cars for French star Giroix and lady FF racer Ellen Lohr. Andy Bovensiepen could not race because of an argument over his license. Both qualified well, Giroix fourth and Lohr ninth, and the Frenchman was the only one to stay with Ludwig after the start, waiting for an error of the man from Bonn. But a slipping clutch meant that he had to settle for second. Grohs was unlucky, he lost third when his fuel pump failed, so Manthey finished third and took the lead in the championship. Lohr fought with Reuter and Hessel but lost a wheel and retired.
