Alfa Romeo & Formula 1 : From the first World Championship to the long-awaited return

The story returns, with new chapters and prospects about to unfold. The agreement between Sauber and Alfa Romeo brings back to the World Championship stage a name that for so long was an integral part of Formula 1 series.
Going back to the 1950 and 1951 seasons, the championship was bathed in the red of the Portello's cars.
Then came the eras of Chiti, Autodelta, the partnership with Brabham and then the Biscione marque's return to F1 with the Alfa-Alfa.

This book contains all this and much more, including the two seasons in the early Seventies with McLaren and March, the premature implosion of the agreement with Ligier, the sporadic appearances, especially of South African drivers, at the wheel of cars powered by an Alfa Romeo engine.
The story is comprehensively illustrated with hundreds of colour and black and white images, many previously unpublished, and a list of all the results obtained by Alfa Romeo in Formula 1.

Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale: The Courage to Dream

NIEUW

In 1967 presenteerde Alfa Romeo de 33 Stradale, vaak beschouwd als één van de mooiste auto's ooit. In 2023 begon het merk aan een opvolger en bouwde slechts drieëndertig wagens die het origineel eren en vernieuwen.

Gedurende meer dan 110 jaar bouwde Alfa Romeo auto's die worden geprezen om ontwerp en prestaties. Henry Ford zei dat hij zijn hoed afnam wanneer een Alfa Romeo voorbijreed. Enzo Ferrari, die eerder Alfa Romeo's reed, merkte op dat "ze bij Alfa Romeo handschoenen voor vliegen kunnen naaien."

Dit boek beschrijft de geschiedenis en het herontwerp via de makers zelf: van de CEO tot de designverantwoordelijke en de ingenieurs.
De lezer krijgt toegang tot het ontwerpatelier, volgt schetsen, prototypes en de uiteindelijk voor verzamelaars aangepaste wagens.

Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 - The remarkable history of 115.72.002 (Exceptional Cars)

The Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 was produced by Alfa's Autodelta racing department to compete in the 1972 World Championship for Makes. The Alfas struggled to take the fight to Ferrari, though scored regular podium positions. The highlight was a second place in the epic Targa Florio Sicilian road race, where Helmut Marko put in a stirring drive to come within seconds of victory.
Marko was driving chassis 115.72.002, the most successful of the T33/TT/3 chassis, which would later have a second career on the race circuits and hillclimbs of Greece, prior to an eventual return to Europe, where it is still a frequent competitor in historic events.

The book is lavishly illustrated with a mix of period and contemporary images, many previously unpublished, including a gallery of colour photographs showing the car in all its fascinating detail.

Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 / 1967

This book focuses exclusively on the development of the Tipo 33 and the motorsport activities of the car during 1967. It was a long held belief that there was only scarce documentation available concerning Autodelta, the motorsport company.
With the help of Dr. Marco Fazio we were able to unearth various diverse records from the Alfa Romeo archives which contained detailed reports of the race activities of Autodelta. With such records to hand we were able to build an complete picture, free of any doubt, of the cars that participated in races during 1967 in the works team.

In addition to the racing participation of the Tipo 33 we have also covered aspects of the Tipo 33 Stradale and the related Alfa Romeo OSI Scarabeo.

Work on a second book covereing the 1968 racing season is currently under way.

From the GTAs of the mid-1960s to the GTV 2000s of the late 1970s, they have never stopped collecting successes on the circuit or in rallies, in the European Touring Car Championship or as simple production cars.

"Alfa Romeo Coupé Bertone en compétition" retraces this saga in order to revive the memory of exceptional champions such as Jean Rolland or Bernard Consten.
In addition to a host of anecdotes, testimonies, a rich and largely unpublished iconography, this French work provides very complete results tables which make it an essential reference for all Alfa Romeo enthusiasts.
