A few notes:

Your car sounds like no Alfa I've ever heard. Turbo whistle? Sounds like my F350 Powerstroke. Straight-cut gears?

Sounds like you use a set of tires up every session. Not bad....

I like that container of olive oil you keep on the dash for good luck. Is it extra-virgin?

Looks like a handful to handle, you dominated the other cars. Not even fair. I like it!

Yes Itīs turbo and Iīts an original Alfa gearbox.

Bad start due to lack of traction in the 3 first gears...

-and ofcourse Itīs extra virgin olive oil from Milano, lubricating my right arm...

Since Trond obviously can't be arsed to tell it himself, I'll do it for him : #26 have dominated Corsa Italiana completely this year. No technical showstoppers and a maniac driver hell bent on scaring the cr@p out of every Ferrari in sight, all the while spending synchro rings and rubber like there's no tomorrow. To top it off, he's doing an almost 700 mile / 1200 km round trip to the track - each time.

He won Class 1 and came in third overall. Trond to the left and the overall winner Geir to the right in the picture. As a some people will know, Geir's car was also built by Trond.

What a guy to have around to teach the F&F kids a lesson or two. Congratulations!

Way Cool!

wow I have a 430 so I am very familiar with the Scuderia shield but I race a 1972 Alfa GTV 2000 which I painted Ferrari Rosso Scuderia reddish orange and this would look great on the car. I have yellow numbers air brushed on in a crazy font with clear coat. Do you have a hi res image of this or would be able to sell me a couple half a dozen decals for my car.
