German RS-Line team will enter at least 1 Ford Focus. The car will be driven by former German Clio Cup Champion and Porsche Carrera driver Sebastian Grunert.

André Couto said NO to Alfa Romeo. He is going to All-Japan GT Championship. He received a very good proposal from Toyota Team SARD.

Needed Cauto money (like Farfus) to join Alfa?
JGTC is also a nice championship.

The answer is YES. And money isn't the best Couto's weapon in the last times...

Thats my first post,so hi everybody And,first of all,sorry for my english

Strong begining you say? Well yeah,BMWs were faster,but Tarquini's performance was good too.I didn,t expect impressing result from Giovanardi,he still needs to learn Alfa once again.


On the other hand,Mathieu Bonardel from Michelin said that "these times cannot be properly compared, as the drivers used different tyre solutions in different moments,”

So it looks like we have to wait a little longer,to compare team's performance.

i say close times .. it's harldy a 10th between the beemers and the alfas . . and i think vallelunga suits the beemer more than alfa .. but i could be wrong if it were Enna then i would be worried

Hi alfan

I think certainly Vallelunga is a track good for Alfa and BMW, not as Enna.
Anyway we will have to wait, yes.

No, neither Couto nor Farfus needed money.
Couto will join Alfa Romeo in second works team 'Oregon' for ETCC 2004 (together with S.Tavano).
