abit like when in Reginald Perrin, whenever his dreaded mother-in-law is mentioned, Reggie involuntarily visualises a huge hippopotamus trotting along. :D

"NEW PICCHIO DAYTONA PROTOTYPE Ancarno, 15 February 2007 Picchio has completed the first feasibility studies for its new Daytona Prototype, and is going to install a body derived from the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione on its in-house developed Grand Am-compliant tubular chassis"

I'm not sure how you can say that, considering the miniscule attendance at almost all G-A races, other than the 24 Hours of Daytona.Quote:

You have to separate your head from your heart..Yes i love ALMS but I love what Grand-Am does to attract sponsors. It's all about costs.
IMSA fan...you may have swerved into the reality. Alfa want to sell cars, they know more people will buy their product to run in Grand-Am. The fact it would be the first really decent looking DP would be an asset, although I must confess I don't mind the lines of the Crawford chassis, but of course, it is the Riley that is the chassis that seems to be dominating. Bob Riley don't care about looks, only performance, and his track record of winning tends to prove his theories right more often than not...So while Alfa may have a good looking DP, will it beat the Riley's, Doran's and Crawfords?
Mark...I don't think that it can beat the Riley's....but it will beat the Doran. Yes I do love the lines of the Crawford and I love the looks of the Fabcar. I think with the new rules in Grand-Am this will open the door for others.
...which was successfully raced and rallied.Quote:
