Newby saying Hello. Been lurking around here for a bit but had to register just to post about this Alfa Procar.
Basically it was part of a plan by Bernie Ecclestone to create a support series to Formula One, but at the same time IMHO it was intended as a way of luring other manufacturers into F1. It was a non starter but in a round about way he succeeded.
The same kinds of Ex F1 Engines ended up being the mandated type in Group C (Le Mans Style Racing) My personal fave cars BTW.
It basically turned a great championship with Jaguar, Mercedes, Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Aston Martin and of course Porsche into a joke.
Of course where did Jag, Mercedes and Toyota end up??
Slightly OT ? Soz

Hello new person!...
It reminds me of the thundersaloons, but up a notch, effectively they are a silhouette racer.
Would love to build something like this one day....

Brilliant looking thing ;D
I think it's the overall "standard" detailing that really makes it. Little things like the door locks, rear head rests, door handles etc.
Truly excellent! ;D

SuffolkPaul No - No other manufacturers came on board and the idea slowly died a death, except that the concept of 3.5 litre engines was carried over into Group C. BMW M1 - There was a series called Procar late 70's/ early 80's that supported F1 - Grid full of M1's = WIN Even some of the then current F1 drivers used to race. Thundersaloons - Go and have a look on Ten-Tenths.com, ineither the national racing section or motorsport history there is a massive thread about them, and another about Super Saloons from the 70's - Gerry Marshall etc In other (more retro ride related) news I suppose I ought to at least list some of my past retro (and not so retro) rides. (no order) 1. Bond Equipe GT4s 2. Fiat X19 3. Mark 4 Escort 1.4 (BEIGE) 4. Peugeot 106 1.0 5. Mark 3 Fiesta 1.1 6. Ford Focus 7. Saab 9-3 SW (Current Company Car) 8. Vw Polo Coupe (1992) Got broken into and set on fire  +++++ More Pogweasal please - He make me laugh!! That is all |
