Three separate races in Austria over the Easter weekend. In division 1, in the wet the expected Alfa Romeo walkover took place; Picchi never lost the lead, Uberti was second and when Dini came too close to his second-place team-mate, the pit signs asked him to back off a little. The Filipinetti Fiat’s were in better shape this time, Dona finishing in fourth place albeit two laps down. The rain had stopped for the start of division 2, forcing a few competitors to use intermediates. Fastest in practice had been Fitzpatrick, after five laps the order was Hezemans, Fitzpatrick, Facetti, Ertl (a fine start from the fifth row) and Stuck. Fitzpatrick overtook Hezemans, and Ertl passed Facetti, and closed in on Hezemans. After a fight, Ertl managed to pass the Dutchman, but after a while his pit crew suggested that slipstreaming might improve fuel economy - so he went back. But when lapping a back marker, something went wrong and Hezemans collided with the barriers damaging bodywork and flattening two tires. It cost him a lap. In the mean time, Pankl had reached second place and kept it to the finish despite attacks of Facetti. For division 3, the Capris had front spoilers for the first time since experiments in 1970; Alpina had used them on the 2002 for this race too, by the way. They scored a 1-2-3, with Furtmayr in the Schnitzer BMW one lap down in fourth, after he had to stop for fuel. The Camaro of Albert had given cause for concern initially, with a pole position but a clutch failure meant the end of the fight with the Capris. Another Camaro had troubles in practice and early in the race; after repairs, the car was the fastest of the field but had lost too much ground early on. |
