i saw an advert on the tele today that was about the alfa 147.you can now get a 5 door version so does that mean that alfa will race 147's in the etcc instead of 156's.just a thought about what i know.have a nice day.

p.s.i have also posted a poll cos i havent posted 1 for ages.

they should use it!!!! in both the etcc and the btcc! its a great looking car and i'm sure it can be a winner if they enter a factory team!

yeah! Bring back Tarquini and Simoni and we could see some real quality racing!

Alfa have already said they would use the 156 as their 'premier' touring car, and concentrate on using the 147 in Super Production. Thats why they were upset at JSM earlier in the season. Besides, i'd rather see the 156 in use as the 147 to me is a bit on the small side.

after thinking about it i think i would rather see a 156 racing anywhere because it does actually have the lenghth of a touring car(not that there is 1).

and another question 4 u people,if alfa didnt want to back the 147's then why didnt they want to back the 156's in the proddy class.actually aint the proddy alfa's jsm and the touring alfa's jsm aswell or am i wrong about that.

naaaah the production alfas are GA-Janspeed. plus i think the 156 is a better bet the 147's dont look as good!

kristof14 · 16 Jul 2001, 22:56 (Ref:117997)

grrrrrrrr gettin my numbers mixed up!!!!! i meant they should use the 147 as a tourer!!!!

Radisichrox · 17 Jul 2001, 12:18 (Ref:118272)

I still think the 156 would kick butt as a tourer, with alfa backing, just like in 1994. I also still think that Tarquini and Simoni should come back!!!

Radisichrox · 17 Jul 2001, 12:20 (Ref:118274)

I have nobody to root for anymore

... Harvey left, Soper's car is a dog,

. That's why i want Tarquini back.

so if the 156's are ga-janspeed(i did know,i just got mixed up),why did nt alfa give them some backing like lexus did with abg.

They don't want the disaster to happen like what happened in 1995

That's because GA-J are in the BTCP rather than the BTCT.There were rumours before the season (when GA-J said they were doing BTCT) that Alfa would give them some backing.

I think i rather see the Alfa Romeo 156 than the 147. In many ways, the 156 is a race winner and great looking. Though the 147 is new, it still has potential for race wins but i dont think it is as good looking as the 156
