Tabletop Racing Club’s first race at Jarama.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great deal of speculation surrounds the abrupt departure of Steve K. from Ferrari. Did he have a falling-out with Enzo? Steve K. quickly signed with the fledgling Martini Techno team. Ferrari hired Dan to replace Steve K. as their team manager. The stage was set for Jarama’s inaugural race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denny Hulme seized pole position with high hopes of repeating last month’s McLaren victory. Ferrari’s Jacki Ickx started beside him in the front row. The season’s championship leaders, Fittapaldi and Peterson, occupied the front row. Last year’s champion, Stewart sat dead last in the blue #1 Elf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: due to the number of teams, each team was limited to one driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the first lap McLaren and Ferrari battled for the lead. Lotus tried to push forward, but was kept at bay. The Red #8 March followed close behind as Fittapaldi drove conservatively. Martini’s driver Galli stayed close behind the March and was followed by Schuppen in the white and red Marlboro BRM. Stewart lagged far behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hulme was first to complete the initial lap and looked unbeatable, but the first lap was costly and he began to slow going into lap two. The the Ferrari pounced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile the two drivers who had started in the last row, Reutemann and Stewart had quietly moved up through the pack. Hulme slipped further back. The Ferrari completed the second lap just ahead of the STP March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travis’ strategy and patients paid off as the STP March car had more wear points going into the third lap than the leader. Martini Techno also began to push and move up during the last lap, but Galli ran into some bad luck when his car’s brakes failed going into the final corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fittapaldi finished first and secured a sizable lead in the championship for himself and team STP March. Congratulations to Travis and a well run race. Ickx finished second followed by Reutemann marking Ferrari’s and Brabham’s first podium finishes of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
