Italian Formula 3 1975
A highly competitive Campionato Italiano headed into its final round with three drivers separated by a single point for the title: Luciano Pavesi and Sandro Pesenti-Rossi, both race winners in 1974, and reigning Formula Italia champion Gianfranco Brancatelli. But the final race was stopped after two laps because of torrential rain and no results were declared so the title went to Pavesi. Pesenti-Rossi, who had been leading the race, actually scored more points than Pavesi but had to drop one score, leaving him a point behind and level with Brancatelli.
Driving for Scuderia Ala d'Oro, Pavesi had retained his 1974 Brabham BT41 for the first part of the season, only acquiring a new March 753 for the closing rounds. Pesenti-Rossi was the more consistent of the three but did not give F3 the same focus, also fielding a private March 742 in Formula 2 races. Pavesi moved up to F2 for 1976 and Pesenti-Rossi found the finance to buy a F1 Tyrrell, leaving Brancatelli, who had led the title race at mid-season, to another season in more junior ranks.

Points table from Autosprint. The championship was intended to run over nine rounds and used a 9-6-4-3-2-1 points system with points only awarded to Italian licence holders. The other two championship rounds were won by non-Italians: Larry Perkins at Monza and Conny Andersson at Casale Monferrato in September; the maximum points went to Spreafico and Mantova respectively at those races.
