Bog standard 156 TS, registered, drive to track, race around, drive home and drive to work. Most times!!!
Using it for sprinting and have fun, will only go as fast as what it is. That pic was recently at Winton. Also raced around for a 1 hr and a 2 hr stints at Alfa 10hr 2015 and drove home 2 hrs.
To run the 156, standard service, good oil, good fluids, good road tyres and good pads. The only thing we did was put in a race seat and a harness.
Good fun being out there with all the Alfa boys, we just drive it for what it is.
We also drive our race car for what it is, different aims, different feel and different purpose.
So get one, whatever it is, get it out there and just drive it first (without doing a lot of work and spending a lot of money).
