Alfa Romeo's reputation was built on racing, like many other car makers, which helped it sell passenger cars. The Alfa Romeo racing spirit began in the 1920s, fueled by the masterful P2 Gran Prix car. This sleek P2 Grand Prix auto, piloted by aces like Tazio Nuvolari and Achille Varzi, tore through the competition, claiming victory after victory. The P2's reign culminated in the first-ever Grand Prix World Championship in 1925, solidifying Alfa Romeo's position as a titan of motorsports. Among its many storied drivers were Enzo Ferrari, and arguably the greatest driver of all time, Tazio Nuvolari. Early Grand Prix of Europe races with Campari and Ferrari, and wins by Alfa Romeo.

In 1929, a young Enzo Ferrari took the helm of Alfa Romeo's racing department, forging a partnership that yielded even greater triumphs. The legendary Alfa Romeo 158 "Alfetta" emerged from this collaboration, dominating the post-war Grand Prix scene. Nino Farina and Juan Manuel Fangio, two of motorsport's greatest talents, secured for Alfa Romeo the inaugural Formula One World Championships in 1950 and 1951, etching the brand's name forever in racing history. Alfa Romeo's racing history is a passionate saga woven with tales of daring speed, innovative engineering, and legendary drivers. From their pre-war dominance to their modern-day triumphs, Alfa Romeo's iconic "Biscione" (grass snake) emblem has left its mark on some of the most prestigious circuits in the world.
