Here is a nice piece of film, taken back in 1967 of a TZ2 and 2 GTAs having a test / play at Alfa Romeos Balocca test track ( Balocca (http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/alfa-romeo-balocco-test-tracks/view/?service=0) ) . The start of the film really shows the contrast between the glamorous life of the race driver and real life in rural Italy at the time.

Looks like fun, and shows how far braking technology has come in the last 45 years.

Beautiful video, Steve! I always like to go back in time when it comes to Alfa Romeo and even more if it's racing.

Looking at those two gents, I ask myself what would they say about today's Alfa Romeo's racing days. Contrasts, maybe? :wink:

Thanks for sharing this vid.
Cheers.

Its an interesting video, that TZ2 certainly seems to roll a great deal, and the 2 GTAs seem to keep up pretty well.

I would be very interesting to hear what the guys there thought about the current state of Alfa and their racing program.
