Rounds 8 & 9: An Italian double header at Imola & Mugello

Before we tackle the finale, there were two other European rounds of the championship, both in Italy.  The Imola 1,000 Kilometers and the Mugello 1,000 Kilometers.  The races in Italy had smaller fields.  Lancia was back.  They conquered Imola with the #4 LC2 of Teo Fabi and Hans Heyer, winning.
