BRSCC Alfashop Alfa Romeo Championship

Specifications

Description

The Alfa Romeo Championship Association was established at the end of 2001 to run the BRSCCs Alfa Romeo Championship which in 2007 is in its 26th year. It remains one of the best supported series on the UK club racing scene, attracting nearly 100 registered drivers in 2005. The Championship visits most of the major British circuits and during 2007 will be going to Rockingham, Castle Combe, Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Oulton Park, Snetterton, Pembrey and Cadwell Park.

In 2006 ARCA welcomed a new series sponsor - Alfashop, the well known mail order parts specialists based in Norwich.

The Championship will be run in 5 classes in 2007, one for modified cars, two for production plus, a halfway-house class for cars with standard bodywork but modified mechanical specification and the new in2006 back to basics class for Standard Production cars using the 2 litre 16 valve four cylinder in-line engine.

Class A: Modified
Class B: Production Modified up to 2500cc (plus Alfa turbo diesels)
Class C: Production 2001 - 3000cc
Class D: Production up to 2000cc
Class E: Standard Production up to 2 litre (16v 4 cylinder in-line)

Classes C,D & E run on TOYO control tyres


New in 2006 Class E

During the past two years it has become clear that there is a need for the Alfa Romeo Championship to return to its low-budget roots. We can now offer competitors the opportunity to acquire a car using current mechanical components engine, transmission, suspension and to prepare it for racing at a more reasonable cost. In particular, this has meant the need to eliminate expensive engine work by restricting all modifications from strictly Standard specification. This will be monitored by the use of a single rolling road appointed by the Championship.

All cars in the new class will be those that use the 2 litre 16v in-line four cylinder Twin Spark engine to be found in the 156 which, initially, is likely to be the vehicle of choice. However, the class is also open to the 145, 146, 147, 155, GTV and Spider thus offering a wide appeal and the usual variety that has characterised the Alfa Championship since it started 26 years ago.

We believe that cars in the new class will have a long shelf life. This is important to the amateur racer who does not necessarily wish to build a new car every year. As it becomes more difficult, for example, to find parts for the 33, the current popularity of Class D will switch to Class G and the long-term security of the Championship will be preserved. As in the other production classes, TOYO control tyres will be used.
