Deep South Alfa Romeo Club

150 years ago today, in the village of Sant'Antimo in the Province of Naples, the founder of one of the oldest and most important automotive brands in history was born: Nicola Romeo.

Nicola Romeo founded first a mining machinery company in Milan before taking over A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili) in 1915, an automaker then facing a severe financial crisis. During the Great War, Romeo skillfully converted production into war material, ammunition, and aircraft engines, ensuring the survival and industrial expansion of the Portello plant.

It was only in 1920, with the resumption of civilian manufacturing, that his surname was paired with the original acronym, creating the official Alfa Romeo brand with the Torpedo 20-30 HP. Under his visionary leadership, the "Biscione" began to dominate international competitions by hiring world-class designers like Vittorio Jano. Despite Nicola’s departure in 1928, his name remained inextricably linked to an identity built on technical excellence and sportiness. Today, his legacy lives on in the myth of a brand that still perfectly blends entrepreneurial audacity and Italian mechanical passion.

2026 is built for people who came to race—and people who came to watch racing. Most SVRA events stack five run groups with five 25-minute sessions per group, so the soundtrack doesn’t fade. Drivers get real reps to find time; fans get wall-to-wall action without long breaks. We’re talking icons coast to coast—Sebring kickoff, Indy bricks, Glen sweepers, VIR flow, Laguna corkscrew, COTA finals. If you’re running, what’s your setup plan for Session 3? If you’re spectating, where are you sitting for the last-lap passes?

Call your weekend in the comments and tag the friend who’s coming with.
