For Zakspeed, the journey to Sicily was useless; one Escort disappeared after on hour with crankshaft failure, the other one retired after three-quarters of the distance with engine troubles. Three BMWs finished at the front, and after a spin by Finotto the order was decided to be Luigi, Jolly Club and BMW Italia in third.
