Ferrari’s rain-dance at the 1972 Monza 1000Kms
Jenks disliked the race, but the pic of the winner is a world-beater
The 1972 World Sportscar Championship was a Ferrari assertion of dominance, with the Italian team winning a majority of rounds – including here at a sodden Monza 1000Kms. Jenks hated this race. Ferrari opposition pulled out en masse mostly to concentrate on Le Mans; Jacky Ickx and Clay Regazzoni won: “If the organisers had sat down and wept after it was all over no one would have blamed them,” remarked a drenched DSJ.
