More about the year 1981
Tracy Austin completes the family fleet of cars with another tournament win — the Austins can look forward to a Porsche 944. As always, she is accompanied by her mother — after all Tracy is still only 18 on her fourth appearance in Filderstadt. Dad, a nuclear physicist, unfortunately has no time to cheer her on. However, the young American appears to savour her time in south-west Germany even without fatherly support. She leaves the organiser the wonderful words, “Every player feels at home here. Many thanks. Yours Tracy.”
