Description:
Chassis number '026' was delivered from Alfa Corse in A1 specification to Top Run Racing of Castiglione Olona in Italy, and was driven in the national CIVIT championship in white Alpitour livery by Roberto Russo. In 1991 the car was sold to Bob van der Sluis of the Dutch team Euro Magnum Automotive Racing for use in the Dutch championship.
As they were not satisfied with the Evoluzione's performance, the team changed the car to IMSA specification, following guidance from Alfa Corse, and entered various races in Holland and Europe. The car continued to race after the team closed down, taking part in the Dutch Alfa Romeo Challenge. It is believed to have raced at the following venues in recent years:
Zandvoort 1999
Rennen 2001, 2002, 2003
Nürburging 2001, 2005
Vallelunga 2001
Assen 2002
Spa Francorchamps 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005
Zolder 2003
This car is featured in both A1 and IMSA specification in the book, Alfa 75 & Milano – Driven To Be Different by Paul Koebrugge, and a die-cast model of it has been produced. More recently, the Alfa was used on the 2016 edition of the Vernasca Silver Flag hill climb, a video of which (filmed with an onboard camera) may be found on Youtube. The car is currently in working order, but a thorough check of the mechanicals is recommended before using it for racing. We are advised by the vendor that it is eligible for numerous hill climbs and the Youngtimer Touring Car Challenge, with races in 2020 at the following tracks: Zandvoort, Hockenheim, Brands Hatch, Charade (France), Zolder, and Dijon
