The John Wyer Porsche team completely dominated the Monza 1000 Kilometer World Sports Car Championship race with the team of Pedro Rodriguez and Jackie Oliver coming home first followed the Jo Siffert/Derek Bell team car. Jacky Ickx’s Ferrari was destroyed in an early crash in the rain and both Martini Porsches fell out, one with a hole in the gas tank and the other with a cracked chassis.
