I was there. Myself and some AROC buddies drove from the UK in a variety of Alfas (Giulietta Spider, Giulia Spider (x2), 2000 GTV and GTV6). We camped just outside the circuit and had a whale of a time. Here a couple of pics of the Audi R10s and the start and end of the race: http://www.kappanet.co....

Agreed. My GTV6 has this kit and I've driven Ron's 75s round the 'Ring. I was so impressed that I've just fitted the Giulia kit to my 2000 GTV as well. :D

Re: Short Shift

I always dreamed about reducing gear shift travel. Has anyone done this to his transaxle? My GTV6 has a "quick shift" mod that was done by Alex Jupe (see www.alexjupemotorsport.co.uk). The stick is shortened and the pivot point adjusted to reduce the throw. Much nicer than the usual set-u...

Steve,

This is great stuff. Thanks. :D

Zamani, Gatwick is only 40 mins by train from central London and is closer than Stanstead. EasyJet (www.easyjet.co.uk) fly from Gatwick to Cologne/B...
