CARS & CREW
Alfa Romeos + Veterans = 'Serious' fun!
Car 'ALFA'
Our main event ‘platform’ in this, our 'set up' year, is our 2003 Alfa Romeo 147 GTA 3.2L V6 which took the place of Robert’s 'Post Classic' category 1978 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV in the ‘Early Modern’ category from 2009. The 'red rocket' began it's competition life from a showroom 'demo' car to be secured and built by Hugh Harrison of Monza Motors in Melbourne VIC, to become a race track car competing well in the national 'Improved Production Car' series (in those 2004 days, the feeder series to the coming 'V8 Super Cars' series).
​
After one season, and some Club track racing in Victoria, the GTA was secured by Robert from Hugh and developed it further to go from the Post-Classic category to the 'Dark Side' of Early modern category of Tarmac Rallying! The GTA competes in the ‘Early Modern’ category of the Tarmac Rally majors which covers various very fast competition cars manufactured between 1995 to 2007.
After a number of years and several 'majors', in the 2013 season, Robert with some good navigators were able to take the car to 6th in the national Targa Australia Championship in the Early Modern category.
