This car culminated several seasons of prototypes developed since 1969, evolved as experience was accumulated and regulations were modified.

Six units were built only and usually three cars were taken to the races, two to compete and one to as reserve for breakdowns or accidents.
The Italian manufacturer experienced one of its best years, wining seven race out of nine. It leaned on the German’s pilot Willy Khausen’s team, who recruited for that season half a dozen Formula 1 drivers that rotate themselves in the driving positions.
For this race, that was the last one of the calendar that season, very early indeed, as it took place on 12th and 13th of July 1975, the drivers were Derek Bell, that after half dozen seasons in F1 without too much success he focused on resistance competition, on which he obtained great results; and Henry Pescarolo, who alternated Grand Prix with resistance, spending one more year afterwards driving single-seaters.
The race had over 50,000 spectators and 36 teams registered for it, out of which 32 turned up for practice, that was tough, as only 17 cars classified for the race.
