[edit] Splitting Article

Shouldn't this page be split i.e. one page for the old 8C and a new page for the new 8C Competizone? qwertytam 02:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Importance

Reading the importance criteria I assume Low Class - "This article is of little importance to this project, but it covers a highly specific area of knowledge or an obscure piece of trivia." I guess "covers a highly specific area of knowledge" sums it up.

A high point for Alfa Romeo in automotive racing history, and the changeover from stiff suspension/flexible chassis to rigid chassis/flexible suspension. In the late thirties they were overshadowed by the Auto Union Type C V16 and Mercedes W125 5.6L, and W154/163 2.9L racers. After WW2 Mercedes re-emerged with the W196 2.5L followed by the 300SLR 3.0L as driven by Stirling Moss. History. Seasalt 12:53, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
