Well spotted!!.....so we must see things in a different light now. All reports I consulted (Motorsport Magazine, Autocourse) and OldRacingCars.com mention that Stuck drove DN9/1A during the race.

However, the photo above clearly shows Stuck drove DN9/5A for the race. Chassis 5A was the only DN9 with different roll bar supports as is also mentioned on ORC (below)

A small piece of history re-written now I will change the RBR section accordingly. Thanks Thunder!

Re: A small piece of history re-written now - GOOD JOB!

You can maybe clear another mystery from 1978 for me:

Why Tyrrell used in International Trophy for Depailler start number 3 instead of his usual number 4?

Clearly the administration which car was used in practice and/or race started to be incorrect as soon as DN9/5A was actually used for the first time in Germany. The pictures show that 5A remained the T-car for Germany and Austria and DN9/1A was used for the race. DN9/5A became the race car starting Zandvoort. I will adjust RbR accordingly. Thank you Thunder!
