This parade of iconic Alfa Romeos has to be seen to be believed

It’s a celebration that extends beyond the Revival era, but we figure this is an acceptable bending of the rules for a showcase that has brought together one of the most astonishing tributes to a single marque Goodwood has ever seen.

A skim over the entry list alone is enough to get your inner motorsport fan well and truly worked up, but seeing words on a page transform into the real thing on the Goodwood Motor Circuit is the kind that ought to be limited to only your wildest of dreams.

Among the truly legendary machinery we were treated to a rare showcase of an Alfa Romeo P3, a car that Tazio Nuvolari drove to the European Drivers’ Championship in 1932. The particular chassis running this year at the Revival was originally run as a works Ferrari team car before being sold to Nuvolari himself.

Then there’s the Alfa Romeo 158 ‘Alfetta’, the car that dominated the inaugural Formula 1 World Championship in 1950 and remains to this day one of the most iconic racing cars on the planet. We’ll never get used to experiencing such a legendary machine in the metal.

From there, the list of cars in action as part of this ‘Celebrazione’ simply has to be seen to be believed. There’s a 6C 3000PR ‘Disco Volante’, a car that was originally built to race in the 3.0-litre sportscar formula between 1954 and 1957 but crashed early in its tenure meaning its potential was never realised.

There are more 8Cs than we could count – Monzas, Zagatos, ‘Mulettos’ and more all in motion as part of a stunning showcase of ‘30s legends.

It would of course be remiss of us to ignore the remarkable success of Alfa Romeo in saloon car racing during the 1960s. The Giulia Sprint GTA is a sensational machine that still races incredibly competitively here at the Revival, and there were plenty of them here to remind us of Alfa’s continued success in the years following its F1 departure.

Our celebration at the Revival is punctuated by a car that laid the foundations for Alfa Romeo’s final World Championship triumphs in 1975 and ’77, the Tipo 33TT3. This is the car that raced in the 1972 season and set the tone for what would become one of the most dominant machines in the history of sportscar racing, the 33TT12.

There’s much more besides of course, and you can see them all in action twice more this weekend on our live stream. We’ll be watching, as often as we can.
