Alfa Romeo built and raced it between 1932\nand 1936. Initially as a factory race car for Alfa Romeo, then later under the\nScuderia Ferrari label after having taken over Alfa Romeos racing activities.\nThe car, designed by the legendary engineer Vittorio Jano, was based on the\nequally legendary Alfa Romeo 8C models. The P3 was Alfa Romeos second\nsingle-seater after the Tipo-A monoposto of 1931.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eProduct\nDescription\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Alfa Romeo Tipo B was a single-seater Grand Prix racing\ncar built and raced by Alfa Romeo between 1932 and 1936. Designed by Vittorio\nJano, the car was based on the Alfa Romeo 8C models. The P3 was Alfa Romeo’s\nsecond single-seater after the Tipo-A monoposto of1931.It took over some components\nof the earlier very successful Alfa Romeo P2, which led to the unofficial\ndesignation “P3” in the press and among motorsport enthusiasts. Thanks to the\nnumerous victories achieved by Tazio Nuvolari and Achille Varzi, among others,\nit is considered one of the best competition cars ever built.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe chassis, with longitudinal spars and cross members in\npressed steel C-sections, derived from that of the Tipo A, was adapted to the\nregulations and modified to accommodate the new engine. This version of the\nengine had a larger displacement of 2654 cc (bore × stroke: 65 × 100 mm) than\nthe turbocharged inline eight-cylinder engine of the 8C 2300 “Monza”.It was\nadvanced for its time, with a light-alloy cylinder block and head divided into\ntwo halves, each with four cylinders. Jano divided the block to reduce\ntorsional vibration of the crankshaft and camshafts by placing all the power\ntake-offs in the center of the crankshaft: driving the camshafts, on the side\ndriving the supercharger fans, and opposite on the exhaust side driving the\npumps for oil and cooling water. The crankcase was in one piece. The engine had\ndry sump lubrication, two Roots compressors and two Weber carburetors, magneto\nignition and water cooling. It produced 215 hp at 5600 rpm.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe four-speed transmission and multi-plate clutch were\ninterlocked with the engine.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWheels were suspended front and rear on rigid axles with\nsemi-elliptic leaf springs and friction shock absorbers, rear springs and\ndampers were double. The drum brakes were mechanically operated. A novelty of\nthe Type B P3 was the placement of the differential immediately behind the\nmanual transmission. From there, power was transmitted to the rear wheels via\nbevel gear pairs with two diagonally arranged shafts.The differential being located\nfurther forward reduced the unsprung masses and the load on the rear axle. This\nwas intended to reduce the tendency to oversteer, and the driver’s seat could\nbe mounted directly on the floor panel between these shafts in the interests of\na low center of gravity.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis 700 kg single-seater with its simple, streamlined body\nreached 225 km\/h.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn the very first race of the Tipo B\/P3 on June 5, 1932, at\nthe 10th Italian Grand Prix, Tazio Nuvolari won at Monza.The season continued\nwith six more victories for Alfa Romeo, including the most important Grands\nPrix of the time, namely those of France and Germany (at the Nürburgring). The\nsecond driver was the German Rudolf Caracciola.Thanks to these successes, Alfa\nRomeo won the International Automobile Championship with Nuvolari, which in\nthat year was based on the Grands Prix of Italy, France and Germany.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn 1933 the factory team “Alfa Romeo” was closed due to the\nfinancial problems of Alfa Romeo. Consequently, direct participation in\ncompetitions was suspended. All of Alfa Romeo’s racing equipment was transferred\nto Scuderia Ferrari in Modena, which had prepared and fielded the race cars\nsince 1929. That year, the Tipo B did not participate in the first 25\ncompetitions and did not compete again until August. It won six of the remaining\neleven races, including the Italian and Spanish Grands Prix.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"CMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45784951062611,"sku":"CMC M-228","price":1180.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/2412\/0659\/files\/57_48931c29-6e16-4493-9e89-82a682931d8e.png?v=1783204488","url":"https:\/\/strawhatjim.com.au\/products\/cmc-m-228-alfa-romeo-p3-fagioli-winner-gp-comminges-1933-40-1-18-le-1-000","provider":"Straw Hat Jim","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
