Alfa Romeo P2 8C/200 that won the 1924 Italian Gran Prix at the twin loop Monza circuit. The race was near as damn it 500 miles & the winning time was 5 hours & 2 minutes
Yes, what looks like the present circuit loop was run first followed by the Curva Nord loop which went over a bridge where they crossed. If I recall correctly doesn't the present GP circuit go down a dip under the same bridge? And I'm assuming the second loop was fully banked helping to maintain that 100 mph average.
This T33/2, Chassis #015 was built as a factory racer in 1966, to be run by the works-blessed Autodelta team. It was unusually equipped with a 2.5 litre engine. Chassis number 015 made its debut as a two litre car at the 1968 season opener, the 24 Hours Daytona, driven by Lucien Bianchi and Mario Andretti. Antonio Peixinho, bought & shipped shipped the car to Angola, which was a hotbed of racing before revolution swept the country during the 1970s. . At some point, the Alfa Romeo passed to Antonio De Santos, who stored the car and escaped the country due to the violence of the war or Independence. . In the mid-1980s a Frenchman who happened to be conducting business in Angola, heard about the dormant car, purchased it then airlifted it out in a Hercules transport plane. It was subsequently registered for road use in Germany. The next owners acquired the T33/2 in 2000, and after refreshing the car participated in the 2000 and 2004 Le Mans Classic. The final image is of the car as it will appear in RM Sotheby's Monterey auction in August, where it is estimated to achieve a sale price of $1.7 million to $2.0 million
