The Design
The Monza 1000km race on April 25th was round five of the 1971 World Sportscar Championship. It attracted six 917 Ks: two apiece from Gulf and Martini plus the privateer Auto Usdau and Zitro entries. Despite having been eclipsed in qualifying, the race yielded a copybook victory for JWAE; Rodriguez / Oliver took the win and finished three laps ahead of runners up Siffert / Bell. Alfa drivers de Adamich / Pescarolo rounded out the podium. Kauhsen / Joest took sixth for Auto Usdau and Martin / Pillon ninth for Zitro. Having led early on, the pole-starting Martini entry of Elford / Larrousse went out after 44 laps with a sticking throttle. Its sister car followed 16 laps later with a broken fuel line.
