This Italian race, the Coppa Junior which was the fifth round of the Italian Championship, equalled the worst F3 record of the 1600cc first year, only two finishers. Armando Truffo’s Tecno winning from the BWA of Michele di Nuzzo. As to the capacity of the cars, your guess is as good as mine.

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.

Race Report: Monza, 7 March 1971

The first race of the 1600cc F3 era, the XX Trofeo Bruno e Fofi Vigorelli, took place at Monza with a small field of 11 starters racing on the shorter Junior circuit. Since 1-litre F3 cars were still allowed to race against the 1600cc cars in Italy it is likely that some of the starters used the smaller capacity engine, Adelmo Fossati’s Brabham BT28 would seem to have been one such car.

Despite the small number of starters two 20 lap heats and a 31 lap final were run, the first heat went to Vittorio Brambilla driving a Birel powered by a F3 version of the twin-cam Alfa Giuila with Fabrizio Noe’s Lotus 69 second. Victor in the second heat was Lo Voy’s Brabham ahead of Fossati’s Brabham BT28 and Patrice Compain’s Martini MW7, the race had to be stopped after 15 laps. In the final Brambilla won by only 0.4 seconds from Marcello Gallo in his Brabham BT28.
