When he entered the pitlane for the compulsory pitstop the Marcos engine stalled for a short moment, and the driver change took some time too.<BR> <BR> Abbelen and Probst made a very quick pitstops which brought them into the lead. Probst took the lead but Abbelen passed him within a few laps. Abbelen was a very happy Class A winner, ahead of Probst and Van der Zwaan.<BR> <BR> In Class B it was Van der Kolk/Euser who were in the lead for a long time. But after the pitstop it was Paczynski who took over in front, which he kept up to the finish line. Buurman went off which gave the third place to Andersson.<BR> <BR> Van der Hatert had a good start in Class C but after the pitstop it was Ambaum in the lead before Schulze. Verdoes made a big effort and managed to grab second place behind Ambaum.<BR> <BR> Results:<BR> <BR> Class A: <BR> 1. Klaus Abbelen Porsche GT 2 (22 laps in 40:33.060)<BR> 2.
