Hi GPL gang,
I qualified 3rd with my F3 Ferrari, 4:59.19. Bonnier was 1st with his
more than 10 seconds faster time. Rindt was 2nd. Clark was only 7th
with his 7th place, 5:01.77. Gurney was 5th with his 5:01.76.
In the race I got a very good start leaving Bonnier and Rindt
behind. I could keep all of them behind me one and half laps.
Then a small mistake - after a period of reduced fp's - I guess
it was a time when 5 drivers of the 19 had problems behind me! -
and then Gurney passed me and vanished to the horizont.
I was driving 2nd to one of the very last corners of lap 3. Then
spinning 180 degrees. I hoped that I could solve the problem fast
enough! I could not. Rindt passed me. I came 3rd to the finish.
Ginther was nearly 10 seconds behind me.
Gurney's best lap was 4:26.24! I do not know, how he could make that!
My best was only 4:59.74. :(
Now I'll take a look to the newspaper...:
How nice! They mention me also in text of the news! ;-)
Many thanks to everyone involved in making the Solitude!
(And of course also to those invoved in making the GPL!)
Arto
