Practice was very close indeed; 1,82 seconds slower than pole meant: not qualified. The seventh winner of this year was Heger, who won both races, the first after Ludwig blew a turbo - but the BMW would have won anyway, Heger was sure. Even the man in form, Roland Asch, could only follow but little else. In third, two times also, was Oestreich.
Ludwig finished ninth in race 2 after a turbo change; at least some points, and Eggenberger seemed to have tuned the engine to its narrow restrictor rather well.
