89 cars entered the grueling 1000-kilometer classic, the 1000km race on the N\u00fcrburgring<\/a>, gathered in brilliant sunshine. The large-scale weather situation, which predicted no rain whatsoever, apparently didn't apply at the N\u00fcrburgring \u2013 who would be surprised? Fortunately, only a drizzle set in around 5:20 PM. It was evident from Georg Griesmann's appearance as he handed over to his heavier brother Bj\u00f6rn that such a race, contested by only two drivers, can be physically demanding. Georg \u2013 a James Hunt fan with a corresponding helmet design \u2013 like Olaf Manthey, Frank Stippler, and Michael Funke, had already set his personal best through the \u201eGreen Hell\u201c on the second lap. The pole position was held by the Porsche RSR of Michael Hess, Frank Stippler, and Matthias Wasel, who had taken the spot originally intended for Altfried Heger \u2013 who lacked a valid racing license. Stippler, also named on his father's and wife Eve's BMW 2002, said: \u201eI'll only jump in then if Eve and Dad can't anymore.\u201c
