GIRO VELOCE

note : il 18 marzo perde la vita il brasiliano Carlos Pace, vittima di un incidente aereo, al suo posto la Brabham ingaggia Stuck, debutto per il Team ATS, che utilizza le Penske-Ford, Jarier conquista un punto. Vince Andretti dopo una lunga lotta con Lauda e Scheckter. Sulla Shadow ex-Pryce arriva Jones, incredibilmente senza guida ad inizio 1977.
