Already during Friday practice Surtees sets a new absolute lap record: at 9'13.1 the timekeepers' clocks stop. That is enough for pole position.

The rear suspension breaks in the Fuchsr\u00f6hre, of all places.

And he's back in a Ferrari. For the 1970 season, Enzo Ferrari needs a driver who can competently contribute to the development of the 512S sports car. And the first thing that comes to mind is his former works driver John Surtees.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 1966, the two had parted ways due to disagreements that primarily involved Ferrari's racing director Eugenio Dragoni. Surtees agrees to contest a few races with the 512 against the Porsche 917, including the 1000 kilometer race at the N\u00fcrburgring. Here, however, Porsche does not use the heavy 917, but the ultra-light and agile 908.03, which is far better suited for the Eifel roller coaster and proves to be a lot faster. Surtees and Nino Vaccarella had no chance against the speedsters from Stuttgart.
