Zolder Bergischer Löwe (DRP)


These fine pictures are a bit of guesswork: I'm pretty sure that it is indeed 1976 and Zolder, and the trees seem to indicate a race early in the year. I would love to see an entry list of this race to check the starting numbers but so far I did not succeed in finding one.
There must have been a tremendous fight in the Group 1 field under 1150 cc. This should be Moll (#21), Plückelmann (#11) and perhaps Neumann in the Audi.
Group 1 provided much of the spectacle. Here a Simca on two wheels... ... and two Alfa's facing the opposite direction. Number 52 should be Uhrmacher, who had a race full of incidents.
An Escort with oversteer.
The Audi might be Seikel, the Toyota perhaps Houben?
I seem to remember that Köpcke drove a green Escort Mk 1 - so this must be him.
The new-shape Escort RS 2000.
Weisheidinger in a real fight this time. A TM-Essen prepared Autobianchi, driver unknown.
Rolf Rummel and this immaculate CSL made quite some impression, finishing second in front of all 934's. Franz Konrad in front, Hans Halfmann in an ex-Tebernum Carrera following him.
Jürgen Kannacher in a brand new Porsche 934. IThis is Gerhard Holup.
This is either Oppermann or Brettschneider. New in the DRP, like Group 1, was the class for Group 3 GT's. This is Gerhard Happel.
This is Fritz Müller.
