Joined by a group of friends we're heading around Italy from Turin towards Sardinia, on the second Fuel Faction tour supported by Trading 212 but this time also joined by some friends to make it even more fun. Visiting Sparco was new to most of the team and we were able to see the process for the seats in the new Ford GT as well as Bugatti Chiron, and then as we have two Alfa Romeos on the tour; the Giulia Quadrifoglio and the 4C Spider so this was the perfect second location.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Racecars Universe!
Today I have a special treat for you guys.
Earlier this year I travelled from NZ to Europe to cover the amazing Goodwood Festival of Speed. It was my first time there and had a real blast seeing and hearing those magnificent vehicles that made the history of Motorsport and Racing.
Being Italian myself, I then decided to embark on a 2 days trip visiting the most important Museums of Italy's Automotive Heritage. This is the first video of a mini-series where I take you through what makes Alfa Romeo so historically relevant and how this brand was able to revolutionize the World by bringing a wind of change in terms of engineering, motorsport and new ideas and concepts. I'm here in Arese, Milan, where the A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili) was founded in 1910 by a group of investors which later inherited the name of one of its major contributors, Nicola Romeo, turning this great brand into what we know it is today. Alfa Romeo.
Join me on an exciting journey as I explore this marvelous museum, experiencing it through the eyes of a first-time visitor and to really feel what made the history of Italian Cars. And that's just the beginning, next stop is the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, following the exact chronological order of how events unfolded back then. Many of you might not be aware of it, but Enzo Ferrari was once employed at Alfa Romeo and decided to ditch them to start building his own cars. History will prove Enzo right, gifting us some of the most magnificent and exclusive vehicles in the legacy of Italian Auto-makers and beyond!

The museum spreads over 4,800 square metres: Its six floors are divided into four theme areas, including a historical review of all Alfa Romeo road cars produced since 1910, prototypes, “dream cars”, aircraft, scale models and awards.
