Alfa Romeo GTA junior gr2
By the 1960s, Alfa had its own racing development department, Autodelta, which was given the responsibility of retaining the racing prowess Alfa Romeo had earned over the past decade. The team, founded and headed by a former Alfa Romeo and Ferrari Engineer, and an Alfa Romeo Dealer, would, in due time, become responsible for one of Alfa's most iconic cars to date. In 1962, Alfa Romeo unveiled the replacement for their successful Giulietta line of coupes and sedans. Introduced initially as a sedan under the name of the Guilia, the sporty four door successor is credited with being one of the first mainstream pairings of a light weight chassis and a high-output engine. Alfa threw the "bigger is better" mentality right out the window, and the result was a sedan that truly held its own.
The following year, in 1963, Alfa Romeo decided to take another step forward in the right direction: smaller, lighter, and faster. With a new model in mind, the Guilia's wheelbase was shortened and the body was penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone - one of his first major products for the automotive design firm. The result was Alfa's Giulia Sprint GT, GTV, and GTA coupes - perhaps some of the most favored cars the marque has ever built.
Known internally as the 105 and 115 series of coupes, each model in the range was fitted with a four cylinder 8-valve twin-cam engine, ranging in displacement from 1290CCs on the small side for the GT 1300 Juniors, all the way up to 1962 for the 2000GTV model. The cars each featured a 5-speed transmission paired to a solid rear axle, with disc brakes mounted to each end.
The models were separated into two categories - one for the GT and GTV, and the other for the GT Juniors. The GT Juniors offered the world-class aesthetics and the second-to-none handling characteristics of the GTV, paired with a small displacement inline four at just 1290CCs. The little coupe pumped out just 90 horsepower, but was still found to have a respectable 0-60 time of just 12.6 seconds. There was still more to be done, however. As a marque centered around performance, Alfa went to the desks of their performance division, Autodelta, with a mission. The GTV and GT Junior needed an even more performance-oriented counterpart, and so a project began with an initial model: a 1600. The steel body of the coupe was replaced with aluminum, and the steel monocoque structure was built out of thinner material to shave as much weight as possible. Unsprung weight was minimized by custom magnesium wheels, and aluminum control arms shaved weight even further. The glass side windows were replaced with plastic units, and the trim inside the car was replaced with lightweight trim.
Everything about the car was built with the final weight in mind, including the engine. The 1600's engine was fitted with a new double-ignition system to maximize output, while the bell housing, timing cover, sump, and valve covers were made out of magnesium. The brake booster was tossed in favor of manual braking. Even the gears inside of the transmission were machined to save precious ounces. The end result was a car that weighed in at just over 1,600lbs - a featherweight. The cars were built in two forms - for street, "stradale," and for race, "corsa." The street version produced 113 horsepower, however, in corsa trim, the little grunt put out a staggering 163 horses. The final name given to this all-new purebred child of the Giulia Sprint GT lineage - The Alfa Romeo GTA. The "A" stands for "Alleggerita," or "lightweight," and just 500 were built.
Autodelta quickly followed the GTA with a second model: the GTA 1300 Junior. The GTA Junior came in a stradale and corsa form as well; while it was still very nimble, the street version came without many of the weight-saving options as the standard GTA, such as the plastic windows and magnesium engine components. The corsa version, however, hit every stop. The Junior corsa cars revved to an extraordinary 9,300RPM and boasted a compression ratio of 11:1. In its greatest racing trim, the fuel injected versions built by Autodelta, the GTA Junior surpassed its bigger brother to pump out 178 horsepower from the tiny 1.3-liter engine. The GTAs quickly became a force to be reckoned with, winning countless races over the course of decades.
This mod represents the gr2 GTA junior that run in mid 70s in several championships under the gr2 regulations. it is made for (G)TC-76 class, with opponents such as the Ford Escort 1300BDA, 1970 Fiat Abarth 1000TCR, Simca Rallye gr2 and upcoming Renault A110 1600/1800, Mini 1275GT
Base physics are made from Mental Gear and Crocko05. Nappe1 has updated them to match the 1974 gr2 specs based on Autodelta full homologation documents
The mod is linked to GTC-TC-76 class and the Porsche 914.
