Nice video! It amazing to think that this car is 88 years old. Even though it is very early on in terms of Motorsport it’s still recognisable as the genesis of Grand Prix racing. The straight 8 engine with its supercharger definitely has a distinct sound. Do love these prewar cars and what they represent. If I had unlimited money I’d have one of these and a 4 half litre Bentley Blower in a collection together.

If I got it right, that is chassis no. 2211120, the car Nuvolari used in that famous 100-lap duel with his rival Achille Varzi at the 1933 Monaco GP. And also the car Antonio Brivio drove to win that year's Swedish Summer GP. And also, since it is a former Scuderia Ferrari team car, it had the enlarged 2600cc engine, rather than the 2300cc on original models. Scuderia Ferrari did that to keep ahead of Maseratis and Bugattis of the time, but the extra engine power and torque put extra strain on the drivetrain. Fast forward to 2012, the German owner of this car, drove it from his house in Germany, on the road, to Goodwood Motor Circuit, to compete at the Goodwood Revival. He won the race he entered in the car, and after the meeting, he drove it all the way back home again!

@@simoneburini4036 Absolutely. Alfa Romeo was essentially a foundation for teams to use and in turn develop there own brands of it.

And, with a car, that looks, goes, and sounds like that, I can't see the reason why anyone won't take an 8C Monza seriously! Plus, the sight of the car on the Swiss mountain road, supercharger whining, and the deep growl of the engine echoing across the valley, is just incredible!

@jcgabriel15692 жыл бұрын
Those Alfa 8C engines were known to have a lot of torque at low revs. The Monza's successor, the famed Alfa Romeo P3 Tipo B, for example, had its first gear removed in 1934-35 to enable them to put wider gears inside the gearbox casting to make it stand the extra power of a more powerful engine. The driver noticed that they could launch and accelerate in what was basically the second gear just as well...

I think the first bit of the chicane is a bit too tight. In my opinion, if the chicane's first part is a bit less tight and a bit faster, the better. But the thing is, chicanes weren't a new thing at Monza. The chicanes used in the 1935 layout, for instance, is so severe that it eliminated almost all of the Mercedes Benz entries at the 1935 Italian GP.

And this is compressed KZbin sound, I have heard it all, even a raging 30s Bugatti, but theres nothing that can match the Straight 8 Jano sound, real life. Unless of course you own a bugatti from that periode that Bugatti WAS Bugatti and not some computergenerated VW shit, you paid so much for it that you will have to lie. But the Alfa still sounds better. Its a sound that just sits in your body, even better than having a Harrier taking off outside your bedroom window, while trying to do what you do with a girlriend before you really know what fucking is all about, the Jano straight 8s just sounds awesome. The best sound you will ever hear, well, I Do might come close, but thats it. Goddamn those are some serious engines. I can not afford one, and if I coud I would not buy it.
