Alfa Romeo Racing Car
This car started life as a very tidy road car, but with a broken clutch and
gearbox, we bought it for a good price in February 2003 and a very thorough
preparation process has kept us busy.
As with the old Sprint, our new car will be prepared and developed to run in the modified
classes. This car will be prepared with a full weld-in multi-point cage, custom
made for the car, and full seam welding. This will give us a very stiff and
robust structure which will be as safe as we can make it and a superb platform
for the suspension to work from.
Our engine, gearbox, and brake specifications will be developed to give a
well balanced and reliable car, enabling us to maximize our winning potential
over the course of the season.
