This was the second round of the Italian F3 Championship and was apparently run to the “breakaway” Italian regulations which allowed a 23mm air restrictor.
Victory went to 24 year old Carlo Giorgio in his Brabham BT35 from the works Tecno’s of Fontanesi and Bodini. It was the usual tight Monza race with Giorgio only taking the lead at Parabolica on the last lap. Vittorio Brambilla won a heat with his Birel-Alfa Romeo but could only manage seventh in the final.
