After three hours and twenty-five minutes, the second-placed BMW 320 of König and Weltrowski came in with strange noises from the drive train. “Just carry on!” but the car came to a standstill only a few hundred metres further. Out!
Facetti/Finotto had been on pole, but they retired with fuel feed problems, so the other front-row BMW could win easily with Grano and Höttinger behind the wheel.
