From the FJHRA. An interesting additional grid at the meeting...
Coppa GEKI Russo; Monza Historic; 20th – 22nd September 2019
Count “Jonny” Lurani gave birth to Formula Junior, and in his words its heir was the new Formula 3.
At the Monza Historic Meeting this September, organised by Peter Auto, we are delighted that we will be celebrating both the ‘Junior’ and the ‘Heir’, for the “Coppa GEKI Russo”.
This combined grid for Formula Junior and Historic F3 1000cc cars will be a wonderful joint adventure, in memory of Giacomo “Geki” Russo, who was not only a multiple Italian F3 Series Champion, but also won 5 Formula Junior races at Monza.
1960 1 FJ win (at Monza)
1962 4 FJ wins (2 at Monza)
1963 4 FJ wins (2 at Monza)
1964 6 F3 wins (5 at Monza)
1965 3 F3 wins (1 Monza)
1966 1 F3 win (at Monza)
Sadly "Geki" lost his life in a tragic accident at Caserta in 1967, but we are very pleased that his daughter Beatrice and other members of the family will be with us to celebrate his FJ and F3 racing successes.
Open to minimum National A licence holders, the outline timetable will be qualifying on Friday, with a race on both Saturday and Sunday, and socials are also being planned both evenings. Entries will open soon.
