BRSCC ALFASHOP ALFA ROMEO CHAMPIONSHIP We are delighted that ALFASHOP will continue as our title sponsors for a third year in 2008, while TOYO remain as control tyre supplier for the Production classes after a very successful first season in 2007.
From the start, the Championship has been run in conjunction with the BRSCC although the day to day administration is in the hands of the Alfa Romeo Championship Association. It is open to any production based Alfa Romeo and is run in five classes that offer the opportunity to race a fully modified car on slicks or more standard versions on control tyres. Thanks to the BRSCC there is a good spread of circuits as well as different race formats.
One of the attractions is the large number of different Alfa Romeo models that can be used and in the past few years we have seen the emergence of such cars as the 145 and 156 alongside models which may go back as far as the Giulias on the 1960s. The different class and model options allow competitors with budgets at both ends of the spectrum to take part and the Championship is as good a place for those who wish to start racing as it is for many who will never wish to race anything other than an Alfa Romeo.
In 2006 the Championship introduced a new class restricted to models using the current 2 litre 16 valve 4 cylinder engine. Very limited changes from the standard specification are permitted, the aim being to offer close racing on a level playing field while at the same time keeping costs under control. It has fostered interest in racing newer Alfa Romeo models and after two successful seasons we expect an even higher level of interest in 2008.
Competitors are kept informed on all Championship matters by a regular newsletter, specific bulletins and a dedicated website - alfaracer.com
