Monza 500 km race 1992
The 500 km race of Monza 1992 , also SWC 500 km Monza, Autodromo Nazionale di Monza , took place on April 26 at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza and was the first race of the sports car world championship of that year .
The race
The 500 km race in Monza was the first championship run in the 1992 World Championship. Even the field of just eleven vehicles marked the beginning of the end of the major sports car races in Europe at the beginning of the 1990s. The finish line can be described as curious. Although four cars crossed the finish line, only two were classified - the other cars had not covered the minimum distance of 90% of the number of laps of the winning car required for a classification. The place on the winners podium remained free for the third-placed. The race was won by Geoff Lees and Hitoshi Ogawa in a Toyota TS010 .
