Racing Version
The possibility of an official racing version of the 8C was first hinted at in 2006, within the computer game SCAR - Squadra Corse Alfa Romeo, developed by Black Bean Software in collaboration with the automaker. Two racing versions of the car were included. Alfa Romeo later announced that they were preparing to race the 8C in events such as Le Mans, Daytona and Sebring. It is expected that race version chassis will be made by Dallara. As of 2009, the 8C has not been raced by a factory-sponsored team.

Famous quotes containing the words racing and/or version:
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotised by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.”
—Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
