As part of the ADAC 1000-kilometer race at the Nürburgring, the members of the Bitter Club International met in the paddock of the race track on September 18 and brought along 16 of the small-series coupés based on Opel. Erich Bitter's first model, the Diplomat CD, accounted for the largest share, with nine cars represented. Six examples of the successor Bitter SC were produced, including the prototype of the four-door SC Sedan.

The former racing driver's more recent creations were represented by a Bitter Vero with a 6.2-liter V8 and a current Bitter Corsa GS-Line. With an Opel Senator 4.0i 24V, even a model from former competitor Irmscher was among the participants. There was also an Italian LMX 2300 HCS, which has nothing to do with Opel or Bitter either technically or visually, but is in no way inferior to them in terms of exclusivity.

As a contrast to the classics, Bitter had organized a small exhibition of current models from its Opel tuning program and presented the "Black Widow" - a racing version of the Opel Rekord C with which Erich Bitter raced at the end of the 1960s - from Opel's factory collection.

The company founder himself was unfortunately unable to attend and was represented by his nephew Markus Bitter.

The meeting concluded with a parade around the Nordschleife - not during the 1000 km race, of course.
