Car info:

Mike Parkes and the De Tomaso Pantera had a proud victory in Imola, beating the Porsche Carreras fair and square. Even the best car, the Kremer Carrera of Schickentanz, the only one with 96 mm pistons for nearly 3 litres capacity could not keep up in the race - though this car was far more competitive than the 2.8 cars of previous race winner Ballot-Léna as well as Haldi, the latter victim of a tired engine.
Schickentanz had started the weekend well on pole while Parkes was cautious for his engine, since Casoni already broke one in practice. But the race caused no problems and while Parkes stole the show, “Gero” and his Pantera too did well climbing through the field though he retired with no fuel pressure.

In heat 1, Schickentanz was first away, but in the first lap Parkes already went by and was never seen again; and this procedure was copied in race 2. Overall victory for Parkes, of course, with Schickentanz second and Ballot-Léna third, while the 2000 cc class was won by Monti and his Alpine.
