Post by: sichel on August 11, 2025, 02:25:07 PM
Well, does he already have his sights set on the chequered flag?
Who was here when and with what in which racing series?

Melkus ?
Title: Re: si_891
Post by: sichel on September 08, 2025, 11:26:20 AM
No, not a Melkus. But let me put it this way: the engines are siblings.

Title: Re: si_891
Post by: sichel on September 08, 2025, 01:44:36 PM
Yes, it es Manfred Berger.  :applause:  But a little bit later.
Title: Re: si_891

I'll try 1968. Here's a photo of the rear.

Post by: sichel on September 08, 2025, 02:19:39 PM
Manfred Berger was still using it later on...
Title: Re: si_891
Post by: nicanary on September 08, 2025, 02:40:59 PM
he was still using #94 in 1971 !!
Title: Re: si_891
Post by: sichel on September 08, 2025, 03:54:06 PM
Sorry, 1968 is correct, my mistake. I don't have any information about the race track. Does anyone know more?

Post by: fromwien on September 08, 2025, 04:59:12 PM
I am absolutely not sure about, but think to remember this picture of Manfred Berger, winning the "Schleizer Dreieck-race" August 1968. Some informations attached
This is just a guess out of my brains

That looks a really interesting circuit, like a mini-Spa. The structures at the side of the track (in the puzzle photo) made me think that they maybe were the bridges over an autobahn, but I have found photos of other tracks and there is no similarity. There were only 3 races that year in the DDR championship so it's got to be one of them.

PS Did you award my point?

I will check my scarce issues of 'Illustrierter Motorsport'-magazines fron 1968. I still think, I've found the picture there (a long time ago..). Of course, the structures at the side of the trach may also lead to 'Bernauer Schleife'- and 'Bautzen-Autobahnring'-race. Both meetings Both took place on closed-off sections of public highways.

There's decent film on Youtube. Every car was Wartburg-powered, so it's noisy.

No problems  ;D  I'm not really a points-collector, so it's no big deal. I almost forgot to give one for one of my solved puzzles today, and had to return to the posts and award it. Easily done.
