F3 History

The 1978 chassis was BMW powered and its only four races appears to have been two at the Nurburgring, one at Zolder and one at Hockenheim. For the first race at the Nurburgring it qualified forty-eighth out of fifty-one cars but did not start, for the second it qualified seventeenth out of forty-three and finished twenty-second. At Zolder Spitaler qualified fourteenth out of twenty-five and finished eleventh. For the race at Hockenheim there are no further details, however since Spitaler scored 4 points in the German Championship that year a third place at this race is a possibility.
