It was another win in the Shell Italian F3 championship for Vittorio Brambilla in a race that featured several runners more usually seen in the British F3 rounds. Brambilla’s Birel with its Wainer tuned Alfa Romeo engine won by 3 seconds from the Tecno of Monaco runner up Giancarlo Naddeo. A tight run for third place was taken by Freddy Kottulinsky from Pierre-François Rousselot, Wolfgang Bülow and John Bisignano, all four drivers separated by two seconds. Rousselot’s effort was especially noteworthy as he spun early in the race and lost nearly a lap but fought his way back up to the leaders, setting fastest lap on the way.
