Race Report: Monza, 18 April 1971

monza_18_4_71
Following on just 6 days from the last Monza race this time it was the turn of the 1-litre Tecno-Novamotor of Luigi Fontanesi to taste victory in round 3 of the Italian Championship again held on the Junior circuit. As was normal there were two 20 lap Heats followed by a 31 lap final, with only four cars completing the full 31 laps this was perhaps not one of Monza’s great races. It is likely some of the other cars were, in addition to the winner, 1-litres also.
