Despite a double victory for Jaguar, that weren’t the only British frontrunners: Percy and Muir drove a new Rover 3500 group A. It even took the lead but lost a lap in a lengthy pit stop - and seven laps before the end they retired - out of fuel!
The BMWs were out of their depth at this power track, but Kelleners and Grano were happy in third. The only surviving Alfa Romeo of Lombardi and Palma won division 2, so in the constructors’ championship Alfa Romeo was back in the lead - 3 points ahead of BMW.

Remarks: Since the #20 finisher is missing from contemporary reports, the 20-22st positions are provisional. It might have been the Monza of Lanfranchi, who got a penalty and was initially qualified als a non-finisher.
