Nino Farina had a perfect weekend at Spa Francorchamps with pole position, fastest lap and the race win on 17 June.
Nino Farina took pole in qualifying for a record fourth time ahead of Villoresi and Ascari. In the race Farina dominated from start to finish with Ascari and Villoresi left to battle it out for second place.
A lightning quick 39 second pit stop for fuel and tyres enabled Farina to maintain his lead and eventual come home six minutes ahead of the rest of the field.
Farina led Ascari by three points in the drivers championship with Italy already well ahead in the Nations cup leading France by fourteen points.
This was Nino Farina's second career win which puts him level with Luigi Fagioli's record. Alberto Ascari and Farina also drew level with Fagioli's record of three podiums.
Farina's career points were up to a record 26.
