Kurt Ahrens Jr. and F2

III Flugplatzrennen Tulln-Langenlebarn 1968. European Trophy for Formula 2 Drivers, round 5, Flugplatz Tulln-Langenlebarn, Vienna, Austria 14th. July 1968. Kurt Ahrens Jr. – pictured – in The Chequered Flag #9 McLaren-Cosworth FVA M4A/200-15F – replacing his 20F he wrecked at Crystal Palace in June – qualified well in seventh spot, just behind Pescarolo in a Matra, in 1:04.54. In comparison Rindt’s pole time was a 1:03.27. Alas he had to retire in the first heat after 19 laps with clutch failure, unable to start the second heat. Teammate Frank Gardner was only in 16th. qualifying spot in 1:06.24, but finished ninth twice, both times a lap down but good enough to be classified 8th. overall.
