The season began in Misano on 17 April and finished in Vallelunga on 10 October, after ten rounds.
With the withdrawal of Audi the fight for the victory was between only 2 Manufactures (Alfa Romeo and BMW) and only 4 official drivers.
Due to the lot of problems had the previous year and the poor tv coverage just 6 private drivers confirmed their participation into the series.
Giovanardi and Alfa were finally able to get a double victory only in the fourth round in Pergusa.
During the rest of the season Naspetti and Giovanardi switched each other on the top of the standing and arrived to the final round separated by just 1 point.
In the final round Giovanardi was able to win the race and the championship as well, on the wheel of Alfa Romeo 156; the Italian manufacturer won the constructors' championship, while Roberto Colciago took the privateers' trophy.
