For each race, table of the results obtained by the Cisitalia engaged, with mention of their type, name driver, competitor and, if possible, chassis number, type and engine number. For each season also, a quick review of the rivals encountered. - Enigmas (24 pages): presents bad photos of identification on pilots, races .. Very rich iconography in Black and White, including a large number of unpublished photos
