Alfa Romeo Motorsport Data

Alfa Romeo's identity is inextricably linked to a rich and storied history in motorsport, a foundation upon which its "Cuore Sportivo" (Sporting Heart) was built. Before the formal establishment of Formula One, the brand was a dominant force in Grand Prix racing, securing legendary victories at the Targa Florio, Mille Miglia, and four consecutive wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 1930s. This pre-war era, featuring icons like Tazio Nuvolari and the early involvement of Enzo Ferrari's Scuderia, cemented its reputation for performance. The brand's most celebrated achievement came at the dawn of the Formula One World Championship, where it won the inaugural 1950 title with Nino Farina and the subsequent 1951 championship with Juan Manuel Fangio, both piloting the legendary "Alfetta" 158/159. Following its F1 dominance, Alfa Romeo channeled its competitive prowess into touring car and sports car racing, achieving widespread success with models like the Giulia GTA in the European Touring Car Championship, the iconic 155 V6 Ti which conquered the German DTM series, and the beautiful Tipo 33 prototypes in the World Sportscar Championship. This profound racing legacy has been revived with the brand's modern return to Formula One, ensuring its competitive spirit continues to thrive on the world's most prestigious circuits.
