Racing with a legend: Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN celebrates season start with Giulia GTAm
The new Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA, a limited edition model developed to celebrate the 110th anniversary of Alfa Romeo’s founding, represents the highest expression of the brand’s commitment to performance, a trait made even stronger by the contribution to the car’s creation made by Sauber Engineering. Boasting the know-how acquired in 50 years of racing and 28 seasons of Formula One development, the engineering branch of the Sauber Group of companies designed and manufactured the Giulia GTA and GTAm models’ aerodynamic body kit, conceived and built to enhance the car’s balance and stability in all speed conditions. As part of the solutions developed by Sauber Engineering, the Giulia GTA and GTAm feature a new front splitter, skirts and rear spoiler, alongside a redesigned floor and diffuser – bringing the essence of the pinnacle of motorsport to this new road model.
With a racing heritage dating back to the very start of the Formula One championship and the combined expertise of Alfa Romeo and Sauber Engineering, the GTA logo will not look out of place on the suit of Italy’s only driver on the grid as the on-track action finally resumes this weekend.
The Sauber Group of Companies is composed of three operational entities: Sauber Motorsport AG, which operates and manages the Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN Formula One team; Sauber Engineering AG, which focuses on prototype development and additive manufacturing; and Sauber Aerodynamik AG, which conducts full and model-scale testing in the factory’s state-of-the-art wind tunnel and creates ground-breaking innovations in the field of aerodynamics. The companies collaborate closely and share know-how to apply the expertise of more than 500 dedicated individuals at the headquarter in Hinwil, Switzerland, to all internal and external projects. Since its founding in 1970, the passion for racing has been at the heart of Sauber.
For the last 50 years, the innovative Swiss company has been setting standards in the design, development and construction of race cars for various championship series, such as Formula One, DTM, and WEC. Following its own Formula One debut in 1993, Sauber Motorsport AG has established one of the few traditional and privately held teams in the sport. After 25 years of competition in Formula One, the company launched a long-term partnership with Alfa Romeo in 2018 and enters the 2020 championship under the new team name Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN.
