Touring car montage.

Found this little gem (if you turn the speakers off and ignore the music) it is apparently an Alfa Romeo promo video from 1998.
Shows the Giulia, 155 and 156 touring cars. Just the one question though, if they were going for the historic angle, why not stick some 75 touring car action in there as well?

Indeed 75s should always have a well deserved place when it's about history.

Nice vid, also interesting to see the 155 & 156 racing in the same race.

Btw...have you seen (5:14 - 5:35) what can happen to a Merc when it's pushing too hard trying to do what Alfas are doing? :lol-044:

Nice video :cool:

Dreadful music though :lol:

Nice find! Love the old race footage.
The music could've been a lot worse...just saying. :)

Well I suppose so, they could have used the birdie song or something like that. But it was hardly stirring stuff was it?

Standard Alfa advertising really, close, but no cigar.

Stirring, no. Digging through YouTube for 155 stuff though, more than half of the videos are ruined by Lady Gaga or terrible Euro hiphop or some other such drivel... If I have to choose between that stuff and the music in the video above, I choose the latter!

[wrinx]

I'd have to agree :lol:

"House" music applied to videos when all I want to hear are engines as they fly past! Grrr...
