1992 500 km of Monza

1992 Sportscar race thumb|250px|Layout of the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza (1976-1993) The 1992 500 km of Monza was the opening race of the FIA Sportscar World Championship. It was run on April 26, 1992 at Monza, and was won by Geoff Lees and Hitoshi Ogawa driving a Toyota TS010. Unusually, the race winning car was the only car to finish the race having completed enough laps to be classified. Yannick Dalmas led in the closing stages before crashing with two laps remaining. The wrecked Peugeot was only overtaken by the race winning Toyota. The other two remaining cars in the race, a Chamberlain entered Spice-Cosworth and the Gebhardt-Cosworth, both fell short of the 90% race distance requirement to be classified race finishers, 79 laps.
