Re: Alfa Romeo Challenge Hockenheim

I don't know what was going on, no first hand info.
So my guess probably they weren't satisfied with just 350 [hp] :lol:
As the guy's racing the imsa's that period had budget enough... the black silhouette 75 was one of the last projects.

Re: Jim K. 3.2 engine

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! Why would you prefer an Alfa over a sophisticated machine like an M3? :twisted: :wall: Look at how many M3's participate in racing all over the world compared to race Alfas... There's got to be an explanation! :roll: Jim K. As you get older, you get wiser? :mrgreen:

Ring trip loosely planned for second week in July. Who will be there?! you are referring to Sa 18th & Su 19th? That is a long weekend with the track open on both days from 8 to 19h. (ie will be a busy day on the track = a lot of track closers) :roll: But maybe an interesting addition, the same ...

Re: Mats Strandberg (SWE)

I have a benchmark corner I use to get a feeling for how well the chassis work. With my old 9-5 I could enter at around 90kph, my whole body screaming "you're going to crash!", the 155 V6 manage around 100kph with a slight drift really on the limit... My E91, the 320d touring I entered at...
