Italian term or phrase: 1° posto di classe
This is about car racing and sports cars manufacturing. Here's the sentence I'm trying to translate: "XXX preparò brillantemente anche le auto di altri piloti fra cui un’Alfa Romeo 6C 1500SS che alla Mille Miglia del 1937, guidata dal suo capo officina XXX, sbaragliò la concorrenza delle tre Aston Martin ufficiali, classificandosi al 1° posto di classe e 9° posto assoluto."
