Alfa Romeo 75 Racing

The Alfa 75 that took part in the 'world' touring championship of 1987 was a development of the standard production 1.8i turbo saloon. The car was entered in Group A and prepared by Alfa Corse. The car was entrusted to outstanding names such as Jacques Lafitte and Michael Andretti and obtained its best result at the Silverstone 500 kilometre race. In 1988 Alfa Romeo and the 75 helped launch the Italian Championship for touring cars by entering the drivers Riccardo Patrese, Alessandro Nannini and Nicola Larini. Alfa won the first two places in the final rankings with Gianfranco Brancatelli and Giorgio Francia.
