Ceccato and then Uccio would take the wheel and were able to rise to third overall with a three lap advantage and half the race to go.
In the penultimate hour the Ferrari had start up problems and with Uccio behind the wheel the car had to pushed.
Taking eight minutes to replace the starter motor before the final stint, Rossi took off with a seven lap delay trying to catch up, but 10 minutes before the checkered flag, a fire broke out ending the team’s chances.
