When this post was first put up I went past not realizing it was from this years historic races. I don't know if anyone realizes what a big big event Porto is / was. Since it wasn't mentioned I'll throw in some tidbits. The course was used for the Portuguese GP, famously Moss stood up for Hawthorne......had Moss not argued against penalizing he would have been World Champion. Somewhere I read , Motorsport I think, about the outrageous speeds attained on the original course. I think it was Vic Elford who mentioned hitting 150 MPH in F3 cars on the downhill run. I do know the current events is one of the big ones for European vintage racing with really high end cars running F1 Group C etc.

Way cool that one of the 1200 clan got to run there...........even if the motor went kablamo. Thanks for sharing this

EDIT........I almost forgot, what gearbox is in the car?.............it sounds like it's very sweet.

So many tracks round the world have great history and I just wished people would document
this stuff online on you tube for us to see. Especially the pre 90 era with bias to the 50-70s.

The alfa boxer is a reknown engine in hillclimbing but the 1300 can be fitted with the
1.8 twin cam 16v heads which is a clear advantage over other engines. It has a lifespan
of over 20 years where it started in pre pollution years as OHC 8v all alloy to DOHC 16v.
dohc head w/ 1.6 block using the 1.2 litre 59mm crank makes the 1300 high revving engine.
The Alfasud it powered started rusting at the mention of water or near someone drinking it.

People are starting to document this kind of races online.
Most of them have videos recorded in VHS and they have to convert.


Here is another video of the boavista historic circuit of this year.

Good stuff, its a shame for VHS instead of Beta :)
If only we had todays visual technology during those glory years! :(
I love all those races even the audi v16 supercharged suicide machines from the 1930s.
