The offer from the Nürburgring for a two-day event on the Cologne circuit in July was an opportunity for MSC Porz to hold the Cologne circuit event in better weather than in May/June. It also meant that several interesting vintage motorcycle groups could be integrated into the two-day event.

Saturday's practice runs took place in dry, beautiful Eifel weather, promising an interesting day of competition on Sunday! The closely packed races in the various classes began on Sunday at 8:00 a.m., with the weather forecast looking good, but this changed quite “punctually” at 9:00 a.m. to what is known as “Eifel weather.” As the rain increased, the track became wet and could only be “enjoyed” with caution by the fast motorcycles. The start times for the individual classes in the competition sequence had to be postponed several times until the race track finally had to be closed for almost two hours for safety reasons.

As some classes were therefore unable to complete their first race, the entire schedule for the second races in the afternoon had to be changed to allow at least one race for each class.
As is typical for the “weather thriller” in the Eifel region, and here in particular at the Nürburgring, the track had dried out enough by 1:30 p.m. that the races could resume with a completely revised schedule. First, the very fast sidecars from the years up to 1983 thrilled the crowd with a fascinating competition, which was met with enthusiastic applause in the paddock after the race. However, after this race, which was again for the other classes, the weather remained fairly stable, allowing the event to continue until the last race of the revised schedule.

Despite all these negative and unforeseeable influences, the two-day event can be considered a success, which, with good weather, would certainly have been a real highlight of the classic motorcycle racing scene and one that could be repeated.
