Under a year ago, to be exact on June 24, 2022 (the brand's 112th anniversary), Valtteri Bottas – a driver in the Alfa Romeo F1 Team – gave Milan a wake-up call by roaring his C42 through the still-deserted streets of the sleepy city. An utterly extravagant way for Alfa Romeo to celebrate its birthday.
It seems that this can no longer be considered a unique occurrence: Alfa Romeo is at it again on the Cassino-Pomigliano route, the ideal link between the brand's Italian plants. Once again, the new single-seater driven by China’s Zhou Guanyu has been picked up in a very different habitat from the usual, draining tarmac of circuits all over the world.
Regardless of the reasons for taking part in this initiative, the Chinese driver picks up no points, but will be back challenging his fierce opponents in the next Grand Prix in Baku, Azerbaijan, to show off his ability. Even so, it’s definitely a singular, daring, typically Alfa Romeo way to amaze its tribe of enthusiasts.

Aston Martin makes a racing return to the Circuit of the Americas [COTA] and the Lone Star Le Mans 6 hours race – scene of extraordinary success for Vantage in the FIA World Endurance Championship [WEC] – as the newest Vantage GT3 prepares to take its Texas bow in the hands of partner teams The Heart of Racing [THoR] and D’station Racing, this weekend.
No other manufacturer boasts such a tremendous victory tally at the Austin venue, which returns to the WEC calendar for the first time since 2020 when Aston Martin also recorded a double-class victory. Indeed, the British ultraluxury sportscar brand has achieved no less than nine GT class wins in the six events COTA has staged since the series was formed in 2012. That’s a 75% win ratio, and four of those triumphs were double-class victories.
