How can WE convince ALFA?!!

Hey guys what would it take to convince Alfa not to withdraw from wtcc?? Man just thinking about Alfa not competing in any type of racing really bums me out!! this is not the way to bring a mark back to the USA!! what are people who dont even know the mark going say "ohh Alfa dropped out of racing because they cant win or cant compete anymore" or "Alfa is a no name" This isnt the right way to go the hell with the Fiat Rally Bull^$& who in the hell said FIAT is coming back or is trying to comeback to the USA!! Alfa Needs its racing Hertige behind them, it serves as a great refrence for those people who dont know Alfa Romeo. but if its all gone and a somone who doesnt know alfa one day comes through the door what are they going to look on?? Its like "Oh Alfa WAS a great racer BUT.. they dont race anymore. ..and the customer is going to think..."Geee I wonder why??" ...what are they going to say "OH FIAT ran out of money".. so they invest in the Rally .. Please!!! How the hell is a FIAT rally going to help sales in the USA.. When Fiats main focus IS Alfa Romeo!!!! I dont know what the hell FIAT is doing but every time the good gets great for Alfa,or Lancia at one time FIAT pulss them right out of grasp of the gold!! THIS is really going to hurt ALFA ROMEO and us Alfa Lovers!!! What can we all do to convice those Buttheads not to withdraw?!!

If Alfa could field a NASCAR team............that would help them here!

Sorry folks, the only people here in the states that know anything about foreign racing are the freaks that hang out on boards like this!

Alfa is not coming back. Even if they do I seriously doubt that they will succeed. Just my opinion of course.

Alfa in NASCAR............that's actually kinda funny if you think about it!!

Alfa Romeo would do Great in 2006 season.

Hey guys I think Alfa Romeo with their new 159 would do great especially if they use the the 4wd system like they state in the article I cant see how they can do bad although they are only going to use two drivers instead of four, and the 159 tends to be a little heavier than its rival but Im pretty sure that,that can be taken care of. many doubt that Alfa can compete now with the bigger car. BUT... thats what the critics said about the 155 that it was to weak and not a built up racer that merecedes,opel ect. was. HAH HAH. I think that really got those Italians fired up and with that little weak 155 they handed those germans their asses to them MANY MANY times. Man that feals good. I cant remember where i got the article from thats states the Alfas 155 critics or what website I should say. I do know it was a german site. But that was a while ago. It would be nice to see the 159 with a V8 back in DTM but who knows what can happen OH yea I think that Alfa racing team should of kept Fabrizio and Tarquini, this Farfus kid is too young and doesnt really have the fighting Exp. farfus and thompson started out the season very agressive but they fell apart into the season. well lets see how the 2006 season turn out.

Exclamation

Just an FYI:

New Alfa Romeo CEO Antonio Baravalle has given the go-ahead for the Alfa 159 to take on its arch rival BMW and race in the 2006 FIA World Touring Car Championship. Barely days after his switch from running Lancia, Baravalle gave Fiat's competitions department N.Technology the green light to begin preparations for a campaign in next year's FIA-sanctioned World Touring Car Championship with the new Alfa 159.
Last week in Rome, the FIA World Motor Sport Council has approved the provisional calendar for the 2006 FIA World Touring Car Championship.
The season will start in Monza, Italy, on April 2, and will end in Macau on November 19. The championship will be contested on twenty rounds divided in ten race meetings, visiting ten different countries over three continents. Compared to the 2005 calendar, Brno will replace Imola, while a Brazilian event – most probably Curitiba – should replace Spa. The British round will be moved from Silverstone to Brands Hatch.
An 11th meeting might be added on November 5 (location to be announced), while the official test and media days will be in Monza on March 21 and 22.
