After all the national championships were decided, there was time in Monza to hold a 2-heat race to decide who was the fastest FIA class 2 driver in the world. It attracted te leading drivers from the French, Italian and British championships, spiced with the smaller fields from Belgium and Germany and even the odd Australian and South-African.
The championships may have used the same rules, but interpretation differed: the “aerodynamic” brake ducts (some called it spoilers) were not allowed, which left Alfa Romeo. Peugeot and Audi complaining.
But what a class field it was; the first 30 on the grid were capable of a win, perhaps even more, and there were 15 ex-F1 drivers. Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Ford, Peugeot, Mazda, Nissan, Opel/Vauxhall and Toyota all sent cars; the only ones missing were Seat, Volkswagen and Renault - none of them having had much success in 1993 anyway.
The field was split in two for qualifying, with Dalmas and Radisich on the front row. Everyone expected mayhem at the first chicane, but the races were quite uneventful, with Radisich taking the lead and staying out of trouble. Although there were battles where three cars abreast were heading for the same corner, only one pace car situation, some rides through the gravel traps and a few rolls it nothing like a normal BTCC weekend.
