Alfa Romeo TZ-TZ2
Author: Vitto Witting da Prato
Publisher: Giorgio Nada Editore Srl
ISBN: 9788879116411
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Having left motor racing in the early 1950s - at least officially - Alfa Romeo returned to the sport once again at the start of the following decade due to the commitment and enthusiasm of Autodelta. This Alfa offshoot distinguished itself by preparing and racing about 30 of the manufacturer's different cars that really did make history. Among them, the Giulia TZ holds a place at the head of the crowd. It had a 1.5-litre, 113 hp engine from the Giulia SS, front and rear suspension of modern conception, disc brakes and an especially bold body shaped by Zagato on a modern tubular chassis. Those were the strong points of this car, which scored results of absolute prestige in its brief career at Sebring, in the Targa Florio, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Tour de France. Vito Witting da Prato, already the author of a meticulously written book on the Alfa Romeo SZ, covers the winning, human, technical and sporting factors of this unforgettable car in a monumental work. A book which, to the precise text and painstaking historical reconstruction, has been added illustrations of previously unpublished pictures and technical designs by Autodelta.

Marquis de Portago
Author: Ed McDonough
Publisher: Mercian Manuals Limited
ISBN: 9781903088272
Category : Automobile racing drivers
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
Spanish Marquis Alfonso de Portago swaggered across the international motor racing stage for a stunningly short time, but left behind a legend and legacy like no other racing driver before or after. His tragic and high-speed death in the Mille Miglia ended that event, and took the lives of nine spectators as well as his own and his friend and co-driver. That alone was enough to guarantee a place in racing notoriety. But motor racing was only one of his many achievements. He had spent years as an international equestrian. He twice ran at the Aintree Grand National as well as the Gold Cup. His unceasing curiosity and daring bravado saw him tackle the Cresta run at St. Moritz and his Spanish Olympic bobsleigh team for 1956 finished fractions of a second out of the medals. Over the last 50 years, many myths and fantasies have found their way into print about the nature of the man and his activities, on and off the sporting field.
