Car info:
Apart from the Euro GT race, this weekend on the new Estoril track saw a race for Group 1 touring cars as well as a Spanish Championship race for group 2. Neves dominated the Group 1 race with his Camaro, finishing three seconds clear of Nogheira in the Alfa GTV. Gerry Marshall, the Englishman, was favourite before the race but was surprised by the level of competition - he finished no better than seventh. The Spanish championship race was led by Barrios but he collided with Pinhol (Fritzinger Capri) whose car was nearly destroyed, while the driver suffered a broken leg and arm. The Spaniard Uriarte with a Escort 1800 won the race ahead of Cabral (with a BMW prepared by Schnitzer). The most important event was the Euro GT race of course, with John Fitzpatrick on pole with 1.07,90. He would dominate the race from beginning to the end, only Ekberg managing to stay close in the first few laps. The Swede lost second to Neuhaus, who recovered well after a bad start while Haldi lost a lap with a puncture. |
