I miss Alfa in general! The first races I ever saw on TV were the DTM and ITC races in the early and mid-90s, and Alfa was there.
They always had the best-looking cars, the most spectacular drivers, the best managers like Pianta and the best stories. Some I have seen live, some I have seen on tape or my dad told me.
Like 1993, when Larini comes to the Nordschleife for the first time and beats everyone else.
Like 1994, when they had two drivers, Buttiero and Francia, whose main task it was to keep their car damage-free so Nannini and Larini could take theirs when they have trashed their own cars.
Like 1994, when lapped Mercedes driver Asch turns around Nannini, who is already in the car of his teammate Francia. Nannini drives to the pits, comes back out on track just to push Asch off and then his own car goes up in flames.
Like 1994, when Modena gives his DTM debut at Norisring, taking both victories just to never win again in his career.
Like 1996, when Larini has a horrible season, many crashes and technical problems and then he comes to his home round at Mugello and gives everyone else 1 second in qualifying (in a field with Schneider, Fisichella, Magnussen, Reuter, Ludwig, Alzen, Lehto, Franchitti, Nannini, Bartels, Wurz, van Ommen...)
Like 2003, when they already have Tarquini, Thompson, Larini and Colciago and still decide to enter a fifth car for the season final, for none less than Fisichella. And then both Fisico and Tarquini crash into the barriers on their very first lap of practice.
Like 2004, when they bring that insane team of Giovanardi-Tarquini-Farfus-Thompson to ETCC. They dominate in every session of the first race and then Giovanardi and Tarquini crash in the first lap into each other and Farfus wins the second race just to get disqualifyed.
Like 2006, when absolute nobody Salvatore Tavano drives for them, scores no point for the entire season until Puebla where he simply wins.
Like 2006 and 2007, when Farfus and Thompson were driving brilliantly with the old car with no works support.
Sorry for this long pointless post, but I love Alfa Romeo. They may not have been the fastest all the time and sometimes they were in a grey area when they won their titles like in BTCC, but for me they always displayed the pure emotion of racing.
