    unfortunately ALMS has it's brain only focused on Porsche in the GT Challenge class - hell, they won't even let the R8 play there which is stupid on their part.

    Sounds like a candidate for FIA-GT3.

    Asian GT3 series might be a good series. Alfa has not too much following here. Everyone uses 430, Gallardo, Porsche and a sprinkling of Corvette, Ginetta, Mosler etc

    Jim,

    Has anything been made public yet, like photos?? I bet the ALMS would be more open minded about this car than the Audi.

    What a shame. It would be nice if a wealthy Alfa enthusiast stepped in and finished off the project, would love to see such a beautiful car dicing it up in GT3.

    An EXP1 version of the New TZ may run against us at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring.

    That is a strange but cool looking Alfa.

    To bad the 8C GT3 never got off the ground. That is a missed chance for the factory to get Alfa back into road racing.
