1967 1000km of Monza

The 1967 1000km of Monza was the first round of the 1967 World Sportscar Championship, held at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza on 25th April 1967.
Peter Quinn and Ford won the race, locking out the podium with a 1-2-3 finish in the process. 
== Race Summary ==
Despite it being Ferrari's home race, Ford came into the event as strong favourites and locked out the entire front row of the grid. 
Peter Quinn had a good start from pole and pulled away whilst the Fords of Peter Westland and Bruno Župan battled with Ferrari's William Parker. Despite team orders to maintain position, Westland and Župan came together at the start of lap two, causing Župan to spin. Parker was running in 3rd when a puncture caused him to run wide on the entry to the banking, hitting an armco barrier and spinning out of the race. 
Quinn dominated the race and only came under threat when he pitted a lap later than planned, forcing the Ford driver to save fuel as he returned to the pits. Westland and Župan finished on the podium, enraging Enzo Ferrari who was present at the event. John Smith won in the Under 2000cc class through a clever pit strategy.
