Sport Forward[edit]
Over the past few years, Alfa Romeo has been successful in the European Formula 3 Championship. The manufacturer aimed to demonstrate the ability of diesel engines -with which the series cars are equipped- by organizing the speed challenge on the track. The Arese Cars average speed of 190km/h and are capable of reaching speeds up to 300km/h.
The Model Cars[edit]
The Alfa Romeo Sprint, the Alfetta Standard and the Giulietta were used as cars for a speed challenge. The Alfa Romeo Sprint achieved the best maximum time and a maximum speed of 321km/h. However, the best average time was obtained by the Alfetta, with an average of 190km/h. In the diesel category, Alfa Romeo achieved the highest speed. Alfa Romeo became world champion for speed and endurance, getting the record for speed distances over 50,000 km.
Sponsor and Partnership[edit]
The record-breaking victory was the result of sponsorship from the Alfa Romeo coach Terry Drury.
