14 August saw the Kent circuit alive with Italian in - that’s a Lambo in cars. A few of our members made the trek down front of the bikes. and had a very enjoyable day. AROC’s Club Manager Nick Wright was theer bright and early to set up the Club’s present, taking the events gear in the AROC with its relatively new and very fitting private number plate - F14 ROC (think about it). He tells me the special AROC parking space was very soon filled up and that a number of members ended up parking in other more random Alfa parking spots. (Not surprised they underestimated our Club!) Matthew and Franki Manners took the white Chris Variava 4C Spider down, having avery enjoyable day. They kindly took the shots shown here. You can see there were some super Alfas— but there were also a large number cars from other Italian makes, notably Ferrari. On track, the BRSCC Alfas raced twice, there were several Ferrari races and an ‘open’ event. Track demos abounded too, and club member shad the chance for track parades too. A fun day by accounts. AROC is very likely to support it if Brands Hatch repeats it. John Beautiful Bertone Thanks to Matthew & Franki and Declan Gray Coupe in the AROC for the photos. Bottom row from AROC Facebook.

FAST MOVERS Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikonnen may not have the fastest race cars this season, but their general road transport is in fine order. Here the pair pose with FCA’s latest company car, the mighty Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, all 510hp and 191mph of it. We’re sure Seb will be particularly happy with the improvement on his previous company wagon— the simply horrible Infiniti SUV. In Alfisti communities there is still hope of Alfa Romeo returning to track. WE had all kinds of rumours in the F1 close season about the brand being brought back into F1, potentially replacing Sauber and using Ferrari customer engines, re-badged of course. Sig Marchionne carefully parked that one however back in March. Some haven’t given up hope of a full-works return in some form of Touring Car racing using said mighty Giulia. Sadly that has been quashed on numerous occasions, it would probably need a privateer outfit, similar to, if not actually, the Romeo Ferris guys who run the Giuliettas in the TCR series. Part of the challenge is finding something suitable. BTCC people shout, but the rules of that series with its one-type chassis, suspension, etc don’t really lend themselves to Alfa’s racing philosophy of demonstrating its own capabilities and prowess.
