Prior to his brief time in Formula One, Pesenti-Rossi was a regular race winner in Italian Formula Three, narrowly missing the 1975 title when the final race was abandoned due to rain as he was leading it. He lost the title to Luciano Pavesi by a single point. He also fielded a private March 742 in Formula Two in 1976 but with only moderate success, and he returned to Formula Two in 1977 after his four Grands Prix.[ citation needed ]
