ISRS : Monza : Ferraris 1-2-3-4
Qualifying, however, saw the stunning debut of the new Lola-Judd B98/10 driven by Gounon/Bernard/Tinseau, which took pole position ahead of six Ferraris led by the Giesse 333SP of Collard/Sospiri and the Doran Lista 333 of Theys/Lienhardt.
The Lola led handsomely until the halfway mark, when it lost a lap in the pits with suspension problems. It re-entered the race, unlapped itself and was fast closing on the two leading Ferraris when its gearbox exploded after 74 of the races' 86 laps.
The other four Ferraris all retired, with the Zadra/Zadra crashing at Ascari curve and the others with various mechanical ailments.
Next round : Spa Francorchamps on 23rd May 1999.

The second round of the ISRS took place at Monza, with no less than eight Ferrari 333SPs taking part.
At the start Eric Bernard in the Lola opened up a 13 second lead in the first 20 minutes of the race and the two Giesse Ferraris gave chase, although the R & S Judd of Caffi/de Lorenzi was following closely.
This left Collard/Sospiri to lead home their team-mates Baldi/Redon for a Giesse 1-2, three laps ahead of the third placed Ferrari of Calderari/Bryner and the very privately run 333SP of Waaijenbert/van der Lof.
