Spaghetti Sunday: Spa 1972

Here’s a very basic Progetto K Alfa Romeo Giulia GTV as raced in the 1972 24-hours at Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium. Driven by Jean Ragnotti and Jean-Claude Andruet, the #42 GTV finished third in Division 2.

I shot this from the side because the bank of driving lights on the front are conspicuously absent, especially for a model depicting a 24-hour race car!
