Ludovisi Boncompagni / Berlingieri (Note: L. Boncompagni owned AR8C2211053 from 4.5.1933 to 23.6.1933 when it was sold to Renato Sacerdoti who had it until 11.8.1934.) (Paraphrasing from Lurani: Cornaggia crashed his Alfa near Bologna in order to avoid hitting a young boy. The car seemed beyond hope and was left at the local Alfa dealer. He and DeNora jumped on a train and got three hours sleep on their way home to Milano. After a bath and a bit more sleep he decided to repair the car and try to finish the event. He telephoned Alfa Romeo and arranged help. Cornaggia jumped in his AR8C Monza and drove with DeNora to Bologna to see how things were going. The car was not yet ready so he and DeNora had a nice dinner and at 10:00PM, they left, even though the car was really not quite “ready”, so as to have a chance of arriving at the Milano stop before it closed. They made it by 1 minute and 35 seconds … last of those who qualified to continue. The next day, they were required to start early and they stopped at Portello to have the steering box reattached to the chassis … which likely involved some chassis repair. They drove rather quickly to Rome and were the first to arrive. They received more attention than the actual winners.) 17 giugno 1934 Trieste - Riviera di Barcola (0.800 km lanciato) # Alfa ?? Luigi Catalani - TS 3rd o/a (Catalani owned AR8C2211051 officially from 31.8.1934 to May 1936 but perhaps had it earlier as well?) 12-13 Agosto 1934 VII Targa Abruzzo (24 Ore di Pescara) This 24-hour race began at 12 noon on the 12 th and finished at noon on the 13 th . There were 45 starters. The organization of this race was heavily criticized, particularly as to the reporting of the progress of each car, the reported lap times and the position of each car during the race. The “Targa Abruzzo” was a special prize that was awarded on a separate scoring system from the 24-hour prize and many observers thought that the awarding of both wins to the same team was in error. The three winning cars were delayed early on by wheel problems, reputedly solved only when they fitted wheels from the “monoposto” cars. SF #23 AR 6C2300 Pescara berl. T.

T. “Vittorio Belmondo” foto VRdP p81 Note: A 1941/42 compilation by Alfa Romeo indicates that 40 (forty) “Pescara” versions were built in 1934. For 1935, the reported number was twenty (20). We might be wise to consider the possibility that these numbers were estimates rather than precise production numbers? 1935 In an Alfa Romeo Service Bulletin dated 8 November 1935 (better late than never?) there is an illustration of: “Ruote R.W.” (“Wheels Rudge Whitworth”) followed by the text: “Le ruote per vetture “Alfa Romeo 6C2300 Gran Turismo” sono speciali, avendo una campanatura diversa da quella delle normali ruote R.W. 18” x 4” : percio onde evitare gli inconvenienti derivanti dell’applicazione di ruote inadeguantamente campanate – non si trascuri, nel far acquisto di ruote di ricambio, di richiedere quelle espressamente costruite per le vetture in oggetto.” This can be translated as: “The wheels for Alfa Romeo 6C2300 GT are special , having a bell-shape that is different from the normal Rudge Whitworth 18” x 4” wheel. In order to avoid inconveniences coming from the use of inadequately belled wheels – do not forget, when seeking replacement wheels, to seek out those specifically made for the car in question.” This admonition comes as a direct result of the wheel failures experienced during 1934 which resulted in a re-designed wheel for the 6C2300. ?? 1935 GP Tripoli # Rosa rit. 14 Aprile 1935 IX Mille Miglia #86 AR 6C2300 Pescara Touring “Frate Ignoto” / Alessandro Gaboardi 15 th o/a (“Frate Ignoto” also listed as “Ignis” by Luigi Orsini who also lists “Ignis” as a pseudonym for “A.

Data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4:6fbÀ1 are used. Good agreement is observed between the data and the standard model predictions. The results are translated into exclusion limits on models with large extra spatial dimensions and on pair production of weakly interacting dark matter candidates.

The day before yesterday 166 Notes 175 Images 191 Introduction and acknowledgements POLITICS AND SPORT are by definition incompatible, and they're combustible when mixed. The 1930s proved that: the Winter Olympics in Germany in 1936, when the President of the International Olympic Committee threatened to cancel the Games unless the anti-semitic posters were all taken down now, whatever Adolf Hitler decrees; the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin and Hitler's look of utter disgust when Jesse Owens, a negro, won the 100 metres; the World Heavyweight title fight in 1938 between Joe Louis, a negro, and Germany's Max Schmeling which carried racial undertones and overtones. The fight lasted 2 minutes 4 seconds, and in that time Louis knocked Schmeling down four times. They say that some of Schmeling's teeth were found embedded in Louis's glove... Motor racing, a dangerous but genteel activity in the 1920s and early 1930s, was touched by this, too, and touched hard. The combustible mixture produced two Grand Prix races at Donington Park, in 1937 and 1938, which were just as dramatic, just as sinister and just as full of foreboding. This is the full story of those races.

  • Bernd Rosemeyer
    Sidepodchat – Bernd Rosemeyer Christine: This is show three of five, where Steven Roy turns his written words into an audio extravaganza. These posts were originally published at the beginning of the year on Sidepodcast.com but they are definitely worth a second airing. Steven: Bernd Rosemeyer. Some drivers slide under the door of grand prix racing unnoticed and after serving a respectable apprenticeship get promoted into top drives. Some, like Kimi Räikkönen, fly through the junior formulae so quickly that they can only be granted a license to compete on a probationary basis. One man never drove a race car of any description before he drove a grand prix car and died a legend less than 3 years after his debut with his entire motor racing career lasting less than 1,000 days. Bernd Rosemeyer was born in Lingen, Lower Saxony, Germany on October 14th 1909. His father owned a garage and it was here that his fascination with cars and motor bikes began. The more I learn about Rosemeyer the more he seems like a previous incarnation of Gilles Villeneuve. Like Gilles he had what appeared to be super-natural car control. Like Gilles he seemed to have no fear and like Gilles he didn’t stick rigidly to the law on the road. At the age of 11 he borrowed his father’s car to take some friends for a drive and when at the age of 16 he received his driving license it was quickly removed after the police took a dim view to some of his stunt riding on his motor bike.

  • Competing Grand Prix Technologies of the Past
    P.1 of 4 Competing Grand Prix technologies of the past In 2014, when the FIA Formula 1 engine of the 3rd Pressure-Charged (TurboCharged) Era will be so closely specified, even down to the diameter of the valve stems, that it seems likely that only company-specific detail drawing standards will produce any differences (“electrickery” apart), it is interesting to recollect some of the great technical duels of the past century of Grand Prix racing. In 1912 at the French Grand Prix, run under Formule Libre, 14.1 litre FIATs battled with 7.6 litre Peugeots having a more advanced specification and they just lost. The Peugeot introduced Double Overhead Camshafts and this became the valve operating mechanism of choice for nearly all subsequent racing engines and now is commonplace in ordinary production cars. Over 1934 – 1939 the front-engined IL8 and V12 Mercedes-Benz and the mid-engined V16 and V12 Auto Union cars, built firstly to the 750 kg empty and then the 3 litre Pressure-Charged (PC) / 4.5 litre Naturally Aspirated (NA) rules, fought tooth-and-nail for supremacy. This was a German internecine rivalry, perhaps sharpened by geography as Swabia (Stuttgart) versus Saxony (Chemnitz). Mercedes, with about twice the expenditure of Auto Union, beat them over the 48 races which they both contested by 27 wins to 17. Alfa Romeo wins (4) added a little spice occasionally. See Picture 1 on P.3. In 1949, in the temporary absence of Alfa Romeo, the rules which applied 1947 – 1951 allowed 1.5 litre PC cars (V12 Ferrari and IL4 Maserati) to compete with 4.5 litre NA (IL6 Lago-Talbot).
