The brainchild of Alfa\u2019s Satta, Busso and Carlo Chiti, in the mid-1960s, the Tipo 33 raced in various guises on the international scene for over a decade, chalking up two Manufacturer\u2019s Championships in 1975 and 1977.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Yet despite this very long and very high-profile career, the history and development of the Tipo 33 has been largely undocumented and poorly understood\u2014until now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Being consummate Alfisti, VRJ Editors Peter Collins and Ed McDonough have long been fascinated by the sexy Tipo 33 cars, while at the same time frustrated by the total lack of authoritative documentation on this car\u2019s history and development. Out of this frustration came a five-year-long quest to write the first book unraveling the history of these fast and fascinating cars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Bringing the same level of research and thoroughness that VRJ readers have come to expect from their \u201cRacecar Profile\u201d work, Collins and McDonough spent a great deal of time in Italy interviewing all of the surviving players in the Tipo 33 story, as well as pouring through the Alfa archives in Arese. The result is, without question, the definitive treatise on the Tipo 33 and has met with widespread acclaim from Alfa authorities around the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With 225-pages of detailed history, first person accounts, driving impressions, never-before-seen photographs and a table of race results, this work will be a welcome addition to everyone from Alfa enthusiasts to fans of the pair\u2019s work in Vintage Racecar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Available from the publisher directly for $79.95 (\u00a339.99) at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.veloce.co.uk\">www.veloce.co.uk<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motorbooks.com\">www.motorbooks.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 By Peter Collins &amp; Ed McDonough Of all the postwar, long-distance, sports racing prototypes, none has a longer or more convoluted history than the famed Alfa Romeo Tipo 33s.
