Round 3 of the 1983 FIA World Endurance Championships and all the ingredients of a good motor race are here. The powerful Group C supercars of endurance racing entries from World F1 Champion Keke Rosberg and F2 sensation Stefan Bellof; the works- supported Rothmans Porsche drivers badly wanting a win on home ground over the privately entered Porsche that leads them after 2 rounds of the championship; and last but not least the fabulous 'old' Nurburgring North circuit which snakes through 12.9 demanding miles of German mountains and forests testing man and machine like no other Grand Prix track in Europe. This was the last 1000 Kms race to be held on the classic Nurburgring circuit.
