facetti and finotto also entered themselves as driver in their lancia beta turbo, as they intended to race both cars over the 24 hours. it was not necessary, for facetti drove the carma flat out, setting the fastest lap in the race, before pitting after only five laps to retire with a cracked manifold and failed electrics. when the car next appeared at mugello, they were in sixth place when the electric failed again. while at monza, facetti put the carma ff on pole, only for the fuel pump pack up on the warm-up lap and they were out. a gearbox failure accounted for their dnf at silverstone.
