Racing car template

I've had a stab at a template for racing cars (see template:Racing car) to summarise the usual data. I've used the F1 templates as a starting point and applied it to the Brabham BT46 article. If anyone's got an interest in this, please have a look at the template and modify or suggest changes as appropriate. After a few people have had a go at it and we have something we're happy with we could start to use it more widely. Note that it's not meant to be specific to F1, by the way. Cheers. 4u1e 10:41, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alfa 33 was not a Tasman Cup competitor.

I have removed the reference to an Alfa 33 being used in Tasman races as no example of this model ever started a Tasman Cup event. Full results of all Tasman Cup races are available at www.sergent.com.au. GTHO (talk) 08:29, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why there is Tasman named model then? and .conceptcarz.com has wrong information?--— Typ932^{T | C} 08:42, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Given that conceptcarz.com got it wrong regarding its Tasman Cup participation I assume they also got it wrong re the name! GTHO (talk) 00:46, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Studied this case, there was one 33/4 in Australia but seems that it only participated one race in Phillip Island (not Tasman cup?) November 1975 with Fred Gibson, its maybe this car dubbed as 33/4 Tasman coupe. conceptcarz.com seems to have wrong information..... --— Typ932^{T | C} 17:03, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Renault V12

 The SC12 Turbo was Alfa's first twin turbocharged 12 cylinder engine and it was introduced around the same time as Renault's Formula One turbo engine

And it's taken for granted that the reader knows exactly what this engine is and why it's significant? So Renault just happened to also make a turbo V12 at around this time? Or Renault developed a classic, well known engine around this time which is roughly comparable to the lesser known Alfa engine? I have no idea. And why is the later generation car called the "TT" for its tubular frame when the original Tipo 33 was a tubular frame car? Anyway, this sounds less like a single car than a whole series of vehicles raced under the same designation, probably more denoting the general size and class more than any actual model. Was there any single mechanical part or styling feature that was present on every car that was called the Type 33 that would establish some sort of genetic relation?
