Sportscars
"Gimax" was a regular entrant in Italian sportscar racing during the 1970s and in 1978, he also competed in European Sportscar Championship, a series set up for that season in order to allow Group 6 prototypes to continue to compete in Europe for their own championship after the cancellation of the World Sports Car Championship.
The series was separated into two categories, one for the 2-Litre cars and the other for the larger capacity cars: "Gimax" won the 2-litre drivers' championship in an Osella, while Porsche driver Reinhold Joest won the Drivers' Championship for the larger capacity cars.
