Fia Wtcc...

You know Alfa Romeo went from being one of the top competitors to now...well lets just say its sad to see such a great mark being degraded at the track...to me these two guys Tomphson and this new kid Oliver just dont have the skills to race with other teams, those other guys have to much experience. Alfa Romeos past team with the Auto Delta and three of the best drivers the WTCC has seen together Nicola Larini,Fabrizio Giovarnadi,Gabriele Tarquini, that team is probably going to be the best Alfa Romeo would ever have under Auto Delta..Its sad because everybody knows and even the other drivers of teams know that the race cars although 2 years old are very great cars to race and can bring the fight to everybody there, but I guess money also plays a big role too. It would be great if FIAT spent more time on the Alfa Romeos that compete and not Grande Puntos rally career that we wont see here in the states, makes more sense in putting the money in a car that they want to export to the states, bring up the image the hertige.

Alfa's racing heritage has always been up and down. We just have to stick with them during the down times.

When the 8C wins Le Mans we'll all be singing a different tune!

The Team using an Alfa is not a factory team. They don't have a chance against factory teams. Also, the rules are not really favorable for FWD cars...

Rumour has it Fiat will return to the WTCC with a Grande Punto. From what I saw on the TV the other day from a Rally event the Grande Punto Abarth is amazing!
