Stelvio QV is the "road" car in the Ultimate Speed Comparison.  ALL course cars (except for those dedicated to the F1 race) are Giulias and Stelvios.  Also three Giuliettas in TCR.
Alfas everywhere.  The Alfa F1 garage was one of the few open for this mornings pit lane walk.

I suppose it was only a matter of time that the reality, spread and urgency of the coronavirus would hit our shores. It has heavily impacted communities worldwide and it is not worth the risk that this virus will create on individuals. The wife has just cancelled our European trip planned for this year for the fear/uncertainty it will impact on our holiday (cancellations/lockout/closed/contracting the virus, etc,etc).

What might have been.............................!

All course cars Giulias and Stelvios.  4 x Giuliettas in TCR..........Mick Caruso qualified 2nd fastest.  Stelvio QV is the "road car" in the Ultimate Speed Comparison.
At lease we got to see and hear a couple of very loud Giulia QV's hammer out of pit line on Thusday!
