    I think that your dads car deserves it's very own thread now, don't you think?
    So if I remember right this was just a preseason shakedown?
    And first race was Easter weekend? Give us more photos if you got
    ok mate don't worry i'll stop flooding on your thread lol

    first race is on the 3rd and the 4th of April, unfortunately I'll not be there since they modified all the programme and my parents will be back home on saturday evening, so it's not worth I go to Dijon on saturday morning, that's a pity... I hope I'll be able to go to Spa now.

    actually it was not even a club race but open days for alfa fans. I hope I'll get good shots from my parents and maybe Remco will post another onboard video

    i got new pics on the alfa classic club de france forum, and some video footage where you see the car a little bit :

    it's already running 1.40 at Dijon, which is very good when you are learning a totally new car, see how it smokes the red car, he didn't have the temperature indicators so he was not on full throttle in the straight :

    look here at 1min30:

    It's a Mini Miglia Challenge spec car so the tyres/wheels are limited as per the regs,
    Cars may use slick (dry weather) or treaded (wet weather) factory cut tyres to a pattern approved by the Championship of size
    160/490 x 10.
    The compound is free. If used, the 599 compound (or any replacing it) can only be used at the rear

    10” Diameter with maximum 7” rims

    And since I am in here, I'll give you a status update on the Alfa..
    She is basically ready to race, but I have decided to let her rest for a season.
    I will use this season to try out some endurance racing, in companionship with my brother. My brother bought a 2007 Juno SSE racecar last fall, a racecar built for endurance racing. We'll start this first season with training and learning the car and two 1 hour. races. Will give some updates on how that go in here
