ETCC Spa 2004, Alfa Romeo & Farfus Play Games Against BMW

Augusto Farfus shows the world how not to defend for Alfa-Romeo as he tries to help out Gabrielle Tarquini by swerving all over the road, easing people off the track and slowing the pack down. He received a penalty and thankfully BMW still managed to win the race.
Drivers in the race include:
Augusto Farfus, Gabrielle Tarquini, James Thompson, Jordi Gene, Antonio Garcia, Jorg Muller, Dirk Muller and Andy Priaulx

I'm a die-hard Alfa fanatic but that was some properly dirty driving.. Holy shit

[@legioner9]

You mean driving. For BMW and Alfa drivers, there is no dirty.

[@psk5746]

Yep I'm embarrassed. Should have been black flagged

[@fabioribeiro5071]

This is how you defend a position without getting flagged in racing.

[@psk5746]

@@fabioribeiro5071 her weaving is not allowed and neither is pushing somebody off the track. That was dirty driving plain and simple. Flag marshals must have all been Alfa club members

[@legioner9]

@@psk5746 The Alfa is the faster car here. What is there more to be said? The Alfa driver did the right thing. Superb driving.

I always support fair play and sportsmanship. But as an Alfa fan, this exquisite piece of 'f#7*$ng the BMW' has made my day subtly more satisfactory.

[@Jtngetabettername]

And now Farfus is a BMW factory driver

i love Alfa

ALFA ROMEO!!!!!!!!!CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@KulibobCZ]

I am also a die-hard Alfa fanatic, but everyone knew that since the N-Technology got the cars into their private hands, without the development of Alfa Corse (those were the facelifted versions), the cars were very slow and underdeveloped. This was a very dirty driving from Farfus, a man I also like and respect. But I don't think it is fine to win at any cost...

[@JackBandicootsBunker]

N-Technology WAS Alfa Corse. It was simply Nordauto Engineering under a new name, absorbing both Autodelta and Alfa Corse once FIAT divested the Scuderia during the early-2000s crisis.

[@Guitarnoob99]

if i was Jorg :) i woud spin Farfus in to a wall for that shit ...

[@supremaziaitaliana7018]

and before the 156, the Alfa Romeo 155 won the Italian super touring championship in 1992....the German DTM in 1993...the British D2 touring car championship in 1994 and the Spanish touring car championship in 1995...always Alfa Romeo breaking the heads of BMW, Mercedes,Opel..!!!!

Depois de ouvir o Farfus dizer Podcast "Pelas Pistas", que no primeiro ano de Alfa Romeo ele tava guiando "puto" kkkkkkkkk deu pra ver

[@supremaziaitaliana7018]

in the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC) which achieved major successes including 4 consecutive European titles: from 2000 to 2002 led by Fabrizio Giovanardi, in 2003 by Gabriele Tarquini. Again in 2004, despite failing to win the drivers' and constructors' titles, Autodelta Squadra Corse was the team with the most points. So luckily Alfa Romeo broke the head of BMW...!!!!!

[@milanbogar9937]

So Alfa broke the head of BMW by winning a measly team championship lol? BMW wiped the floor with Alfa by finishing 1-2 in the drivers championship and winning the manufacturers' championship. Then in the following years BMW wiped the floor with Alfa once again in the world championship as well.

+burns985 of course I do: nonetheless, it was a dirty move.

[@burns985]

+ropany If you do, so be fair and make a balance of both actions not only against Senna. If you want to be fair of course.

[@ropany]

+burns985 if you want to be fair you should acknowledge that dirty games in the history of motor racing have been played by pilots and teams from any country around the world; most of all, if you really were fair, you wouldn't have showed an italian bias to criticize Augusto Farfus, who is a pilot from Brazil...
