1970 1000 km of Monza

thumb|right|Monza in 1970 The 1970 1000 km of Monza was an endurance race held at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza in Monza, Italy, on April 25, 1970. It was the fourth round of the 1970 International Championship for Makes. This was the first official 1000 km race at Monza that used only the road course; in 1956 and 1965-1969 the organizers utilized the combined road and banking courses; but the banking was abandoned because of safety issues; the 1969 1000 km race was the last race ever held on the concrete-surfaced banking. Mexican driver Pedro Rodríguez won this race in John Wyer's Gulf-sponsored Porsche 917K, he was able to hold off 3 hard-charging works Ferrari 512's after his co-driver Leo Kinnunen lost most of the lead Rodríguez had built up. Ex-Ferrari driver John Surtees returned to Ferrari after 4 years to drive a works 512. http://wspr-racing.com/wspr/results/wscc/ms1970.html#4 Wspr-racing.com Official results Pos Class No Team Drivers Chassis Engine Laps 1 S5.0 7 United Kingdom John Wyer Automotive Engineering Mexico Pedro RodríguezFinland Leo Kinnunen Porsche 917K Porsche 4.5L Flat-12 174 2 S5.0 3 Italy SpA Ferrari SEFAC Italy Ignazio GiuntiItaly Nino Vaccarella Ferrari 512S Spyder Ferrari 5.0L V12 174 3 S5.0 2 Italy SpA Ferrari SEFAC United Kingdom John SurteesSwitzerland Peter Schetty Ferrari 512S Ferrari 5.0L V12 171 4 S5.0 1 Italy SpA Ferrari SEFAC New Zealand Chris AmonItaly Arturo Merzario Ferrari 512S Ferrari 5.0L V12 171 5 P3.0 36 France Equipe Matra-Simca France Jean-Pierre BeltoiseAustralia Jack Brabham Matra-Simca MS650 Matra 3.0L V12 169 6 P3.0 37 France Equipe Matra-Simca France Henri PescaroloFrance Johnny Servoz-Gavin Matra-Simca MS650 Matra 3.0L V12 161 7 P3.0 38 Italy Autodelta SpA Italy Nanni GalliGermany Rolf Stommelen Alfa Romeo T33/3 Alfa Romeo 3.0L V8 166 8 S5.0 4 Switzerland Scuderia Filipinetti United Kingdom Mike ParkesSwitzerland Herbert Müller Ferrari 512S Ferrari 5.0L V12 163 9 S5.0 5 Italy Scuderia Pinchio Rosso Italy Corrado ManfrediniItaly Gianpiero Moretti Ferrari 512S Ferrari 5.0L V12 163 10 S5.0 12 Germany Gesipa Racing Team Germany Jürgen NeuhausGermany Helmut Kelleners Porsche 917K Porsche 4.5L Flat-12 162 11 S5.0 14 Finland Racing Team AAW Finland Hans LaineNetherlands Gijs van Lennep Porsche 917K Porsche 4.5L Flat-12 162 12 S5.0 8 United Kingdom John Wyer Automotive Engineering Switzerland Jo SiffertUnited Kingdom Brian Redman Porsche 917K Porsche 4.5L Flat-12 158 13 P3.0 41 Italy Autodelta SpA Italy Andrea de AdamichUnited Kingdom Piers Courage Alfa Romeo T33/3 Alfa Romeo 3.0L V8 158 14 P3.0 50 Germany Martini International France Gérard LarrousseAustria Rudi Lins Porsche 908/02 LH Porsche 3.0L Flat-8 157 15 P2.0 53 Switzerland Andre Wicky Racing Team Switzerland Andre WickyPortugal Mário Cabral Porsche 907 Porsche 1.9L Flat-6 144 16 S5.0 16 Belgium Racing Team VDS Belgium Teddy PiletteBelgium Gustave Gosselin Lola T70 Mk.3B Chevrolet 5.0L V8 143 17 P2.0 52 Germany Hans-Dieter Blatzheim Germany Hans-Dieter BlatzheimGermany Helmut Krause Porsche 907 Porsche 1.9L Flat-6 139 18 P3.0 39 Italy Autodelta SpA United States Masten GregoryNetherlands Toine Hezemans Alfa Romeo T33/3 Alfa Romeo 3.0L V8 131 19 P3.0 25 United Kingdom John L'Amie United Kingdom John L'AmieUnited Kingdom Brian Nelson Porsche 910 Porsche 1.9L Flat-6 131 20 GT2.0 87 Italy Brescia Corse Italy Giuseppe SchenettiItaly Sergio Zerbini Porsche 911S Porsche 2.0L Flat-6 128 21 GT2.0 84 Switzerland Andre Wicky Racing Team France Sylvain GarantItaly Mario Ilotte Porsche 911S Porsche 2.0L Flat-6 127 22 GT+2.0 70 Italy Giancarlo Rondanini Italy Giancarlo RondaniniItaly Ennio Bonomelli Porsche 911S Porsche 2.0L Flat-6 122 Not Classified Class No Team Drivers Chassis Engine Laps GT+2.0 94 Italy Jolly Club Italy Luigi CabellaItaly Paolo de Leonibus Alfa Romeo GTA Alfa Romeo 1.6L I4 118 GT2.0 78 Italy Fiorenzo Genta Italy Fiorenzo GentaItaly "Nicky" Porsche 911S Porsche 2.0L Flat-6 118 S1.6 34 Switzerland Abarth Switzerland Switzerland Rolando VaglioSwitzerland Silvio Vaglio Fiat-Abarth 1000S Abarth 1.0L I4 115 Did Not Finish Class No Team Drivers Chassis Engine Laps P2.0 52 Italy Antonio Nicodemi Italy Antonio NicodemiUnited Kingdom Jonathan Williams Porsche 907 Porsche 1.9L Flat-6 111 S1.6 34 Italy Mario Nardari Italy Mario NardariItaly "Pal Joe" Fiat-Abarth 1000S Abarth 1.0L I4 107 S5.0 10 Austria Porsche Salzburg United Kingdom Vic ElfordGermany Kurt Ahrens Jr. Porsche 917K Porsche 4.5L Flat-12 92 GT1.6 23 Italy Abarth-Osella Austria Johannes OrtnerItaly Mario Casoni Abarth 2000S Abarth 2.0L I4 71 GT1.6 96 Italy Citta dei Mille Italy Giulio RossiItaly Paolo Monti Alfa Romeo GTA Alfa Romeo 1.6L I4 71 P3.0 40 Italy Autodelta SpA Italy Carlo FacettiItaly Teodoro Zeccoli Alfa Romeo T33/3 Alfa Romeo 3.0L V8 67 S5.0 10 Austria Porsche Salzburg Germany Hans HerrmannUnited Kingdom Richard Attwood Porsche 917K Porsche 4.5L Flat-12 63 P2.0 48 Italy SCAR Autostrada Italy "Nicor"Italy Spartaco Dini Alfa Romeo T33/2 Alfa Romeo 2.0L V8 58 S5.0 11 United Kingdom David Piper United States Tony AdamowiczUnited Kingdom David Piper Porsche 917K Porsche 4.5L Flat-12 55 P3.0 44 Germany Martini International Germany Gerhard KochGermany Hans-Dieter Dechent Porsche 908/02 Porsche 3.0L Flat-8 35 GT1.6 96 Italy Monzeglio Italy Cesare PorettiItaly Maurizio Zanetti Alfa Romeo GTA Alfa Romeo 1.6L I4 26 P2.0 48 Italy SCAR Autostrada Italy Giovanni AlbertiItaly Carlo Zuccoli Alfa Romeo T33/2 Alfa Romeo 2.0L V8 19 GT+2.0 78 Germany Kremer Racing Germany Erwin KremerGermany Willi Kauhsen Porsche 911S Porsche 2.0L Flat-6 17 Statistics Pole position: #8 John Wyer Automotive Engineering Porsche 917K (Jo Siffert/Brian Redman) -
