It promised to be a good fight. Compared to Monza, there was another Luigi car entered. Practice was marred with rain; during one of the few dry period, Nilsson was able to split the pair of Jaguars. But when during the race the first pit stops were made, the picture was already clear. Nilsson took over from Quester, both the Jaguars were already out, with suspension failure this time. The pace was reduced, Alpina in the lead in front of the Luigi trio Xhenceval, Grano and Joosen. A big fight in the smaller classes: Brun (BMW 320) had a small lead over Kelleners (Scirocco) and Kluit (Escort). Ertl could not quite keep up with this pace; but the Audi had done well in the wet practice. The Alfetta of Bigliazzi and Facetti was far from a class lead too - but that would change soon. The Grano/Mohr Luigi car had passed team-mate Joosen/Dewael and was second, since Xhenceval had retired. Finotto took over, in search for ETCC points, but left the road and damaged the suspension in his first lap. Joosen/Dewael moved to second, third was, (un)surprisingly the Autovama Alfetta. The Jägermeister Spiess Scirocco had retired, the Swiss sister car lost time in the pits. The Audi had ignition troubles, the Kluit/Poole Escort lost time in the pits. Bergmeister, who had moved to another sister car of Henzler, could not catch the surprisingly reliable Escort. |
