Pictures

As a support act to the prestigious DRM race, we had a GT race at the Norisring this time. Not all competitors would take on the DRM race (and vice-versa!) but many of them would be seen in the final.
The field consisted of 12 cars altogether; 11 Porsches and a 4-valve Lancia. In practice, Hezemans was fastest, then Fitzpatrick, Schickentanz, Schenken and Siewertsen, who finally showed something of the form which made him Dutch champion in 1974. The Lancia had shone only in wet practice, but in the dry both car and driver looked out of place.
The GT race was the first race on Sunday, and the order after the start was Hezemans, Fitzpatrick, Heyer (Vaillant Kremer-Carrera), Schickentanz and Haldi with his Toblerone car. Hezemans let Fitzpatrick through (the champion destined) and fended him off against Heyer. But Heyer spun, and switched off the mains unintended in the process. He was a lap down when he discovered his error.
Lap 15, and Schenken and Bertrams closed in on fourth-placed Siewertsen. Schenken came through, Bertrams not: a damaged rim and door forced him into the pits. He stormed out, and attacked Siewertsen too forceful - the Tebernum car was black flagged. Team-mate Schickentanz retired with engine problems as well, while Loos celebrated a 1-2-3. The Lancia arrived at the finish in last place with massive brake troubles despite the water cooling system.
