The race was as the title says, simply manic. It was non-stop physical action, and a hard fought race.

Danny Pfeil sat the race out in the pit lane as the cars set off on a clean start, Huisman leading from Kelleners. And then the action started, number 24 being nudged into a power slide around the corners by guest driver Markku Alen, the Finnish Rally star.

Going into the first corner, Gerhard Mueller was attacked by Frank Schmickler, Mueller being left facing the wrong way in the middle of the corner. Cars scattered either side, and everyone continued. A lap later, and series champion Harald Grohs was in the pits, his right rear tyre rubbing the bodywork thanks to a brush with the wall. Tony Rohr did likewise a few laps later, but speared across the track afterwards into the wall before rebounding back out into the track, the car destroyed. The safety car was then brought out.

A few laps later, and the race was restarted, the proximity of the cars equating to trouble. At the first corner, Axel Rohr tipped Olivier Mai into a spin, also sideswiping him on the corner exit. Mai went to spin himself back around, but managed to drive into the side of Patrick Simon instead, who was trying to keep out of everyone's way by driving around the outside instead. All eventually continued on their way.

One corner later though and Mai's bonnet flew up, courtesy of a rearranged front end from his contact with Simon. Mai slowed down, the bonnet fell back down again, and then he headed pitwards.

By now there was a lot of oil on the track, and the red flags were shortly brought out, the results being declared.
