1~IOLA, ITA'L Y, Apr. 15, 197 3 - The
Ferrari Dino circu it in Imola is parti ally
p ublic road on wee kdays. T he infield is
m ade up o f farm s, orchards, h ome s, and
a public park . A river cu t s across the
cou rse an d requires two b ri dges. T he
course itself is very Euro pean : fas t with
a few slo w t urns.
It' s also d angerous because: i t is
fence d w ith steel Armeo barriers
de sign ed for race ca rs. Walls and b ri dg es
also line th e cou rse as it winds aro u n d
and changes ele vat ion.
This y ea r, th e best road ra cers in
Ameri ca c am e to me et th e best in
Europe, an d it se eme d tha t the S he ll
