Meisterschaft Deutschen Demokratischen Republik

Rules:

1.) The championship can only be awarded to a driver, who won at least one race or who was at least best of the GDR drivers in one race.
2.) The title was awarded only if there were at least four championship races in the class.
3.) Championship points were awarded only, if there were at least five championship contenders (= GDR-drivers) in the race.
4.) Championship points award:
up to 9 GDR-drivers in the race: 6 - 4 - 3
up to 14 GDR-drivers: 6 - 4 - 3 - 2

6.) Two drivers equal on points were decided by the better result at Halle.
7.) Drivers with less than 90% distance in a race get no points.
8.) Points are awarded separately for private drivers, but the final table contains privateers and works drivers.

Champinoship Races (scheduled): Dresden, Dessau, Halle, Sachsenring, Bernau.

Dessau was postponed after a river flooding the track.
The second Dessau was cancelled as the Autobahn was not released for racing during the Leipzig fair.
The race at Bernau was stopped because of a fatal accident in the simultaneously run 1500 cc sports car race, no points rewarded.

This meant, that there were only three championship races, which were not enough to determine a champion. But an inofficial title "DDR-Bester" was awarded to Krause.

1. Krause 6 + 7 + 6 = 19
2. Thiel 5 + 0 + 7 = 12
3. Binner 3 + 4 + 0 = 7
