RACE NOTES
1) Formula Libre
2) Race also named “V Circuito di Alessandria”
3) In practice Bordino hit a dog which jammed the steering so that the car ran out of control overturned into a river where the
driver drowned before anyone could reach him. Bordino not only had a great GP career (1922 Italian GP, 1927 Milano GP)
but also a successful “Indycar” career (2 wins).
