I want to enter Maria into the Targa Florio, but she is looking for a car and engine.

What prices are FIAT, Alfa Romeo and Benz offering for customer cars?

Benz are offering 43,500 F for a top of the line package. This includes full customer support - we will pay half of any repair bills that may occur and if your chassis is wrecked, we can offer you a new one at a discounted price.

Also, Benz would like to announce that fictional driver Friedrich Ziegler (GER) will be joining them as reserve driver.

FIAT is offering the same deal as was offered to Martin de Alzaga before his entry was rejected, and we held back on construction of a fourth car. The new 805/405 package is on offer for 43,000 F, and on top of this we will pay any repair bills in full for the Targa Florio and Italian Grand Prix, and half for any other races. If the car is wrecked, we will offer a full replacement for 35,000 F.

Alfa Romeo is willing to offer you a deal far cheaper than the rest, despite being equally as fast, but with a clause in there. We will sell you the full car package for 30,000, and offer a replacement car in the event of a write-off for the same cost, on the understanding that the team will attend every round of the championship, with a driver of Alfa Romeo's choosing in at least 50% of the races of the championship.

Hispano-Suiza's Targa Florio entry:
Manso de Zuniga - H23/1, HS23E/1
Ferdinand de Vizcaya - H23/2, HS23E/2

We'd also like to offer Pierre de Vizcaya a Hispano-Suiza chassis for 16000 F, if they're interested.

Before Impéria offer any sort of customer cars, we would like to enter the Targa Florio with our sole car, the 8/12HP chassis and engine, with Duray driving.

As a form of preliminary advertising, we would like to maintain that all of Impéria's cars have been carefully tested in the roads around Nessonvaux and Pepinster, which are rather like those of Sicily. We expect to be competitive from the get-go.

Italian privateer Giulio Masetti is looking to enter the Targa Florio, and is interested in any and all offers for cars to purchase.

Additionally, if users are allowed to run more than one privateer, German Christian Werner is interested in making a one-off start in the Targa Florio in preparation for his first Indianapolis 500 start later this year. Being a one-off, he's only interested in leasing a car from someone, rather than outright purchase.

Alfa Romeo extends the same offer to Masetti as was extended to Maria Antonietta d'Avanzo, or alternatively you can purchase a package with no strings attached for 45,000.

Masetti is happy to accept the offer, and will use the car to enter himself into the Targa Florio under the Masetti Corse banner

Maria Antonietta d'Avanzo's intentions was to be a one-car, part-time, self-entered team with a leaning towards the Italian rounds (having had some recent experience in the early '20s on the Targa Florio). Due to Alfa's clauses, this offer will be rejected. And with FIAT offering free repairs for Maria's preferred races, plus an already announced replacement chassis price, this will be the accepted offer and will be the car entered into the Targa Florio.

In that case FIAT announces (again) the construction of 805 chassis 4 and 405 engine 4, to be sold to Maria Antonietta d'Avanzo for 43,000 F. We wish her the very best of luck in the upcoming race :)

In the case it's monetarily possible, Pierre de Vizcaya will reconsider this offer before the Spanish Grand Prix, but at the moment he is looking to purchase a tier 1 chassis and experiment with it.

So PdV would like to ask about an Impéria or a Voisin chassis being available for purchase.

Targa Florio Preview

As the European economies continue to recover from the war, motorsport all across Europe is booming. The creation of a European Championship for Grand Prix racing has resulted in a major upswing in entries. Along with the championship, it was announced that Grand Prix cars would be eligible for the Targa Florio this year, and that they would compete for championship points. 25 cars from 12 different manufacturers have been entered, and they come from all across Europe.

From Italy, FIAT and Alfa Romeo are present with four cars each. Alfa Romeo has Pietro Bordino, winner of last year's Italian Grand Prix driving for them, who is joined by Antonio Ascari, who has been doing well at the Targa Florio in previous years, and the young talented Enzo Ferrari. FIAT has some big names present, with the legendary Felice Nazzaro, Ferrari's idol, driving the first car. The second car is driven by 1914 Indianapolis 500 winner René Thomas. Their third driver, Giuseppe Campari, is the youngest of FIAT's drivers, but already has a lot of experience and success on long, winding road courses like Mugello or the Targa Florio.

From France, three manufacturers are present. Bugatti have brought three cars. Jules Goux has had big success on both road courses and ovals, winning the 1913 Indianapolis 500 as well as the 1921 Italian Grand Prix. Jimmy Murphy is younger, but has had similar success, winning both Indianapolis and the French Grand Prix recently. They are joined by Louis-Antoine Voeckler, who has little results yet, but is said to be a great talent. Delage brings two cars for Albert Guyot and Jean Chassagne, two very experienced veteran drivers. Rolland-Pilain enters one car for André Lagache.

From the United Kingdom, three different makes are present. Of those, Sunbeam are most likely to challenge for the championship, with their young star drivers Henry Segrave and Albert Divo, as well as land speed record holder Kenelm Lee Guinness. AC Cars have entered former Bentley engineer Clive Gallop and Sammy Davis, successful racing driver and sports editor of the magazine The Autocar. Bentley are running two cars, one for their star Dario Resta, who won Indianapolis in 1916, and the other for young talent Samuel Nurmester.

The remaining three manufacturers are coming from Germany, Spain, and Belgium. Benz have entered the race with veteran driver Christian Lautenschlager. Hispano-Suiza are running two cars, for Spanish drivers Manso de Zuniga and Pierre de Vizcaya. Impéria are present with just one car, driven by Belgian Arthur Duray.

Two privateers are present for this years' Targa Florio. Giulio Masetti has set up his own team, with support from Alfa Romeo, and Maria Antonietta d'Avanzo is the only female competitor in this race, driving a FIAT.

The anticipation continues to build before the 25 drivers will start the timed practice on Saturday, leading up to the big event on Sunday, when these new Grand Prix cars will compete against each other for the first time. The drivers will face a challenging 108km circuit running through the Sicilian countryside.

1923 Targa Florio - Race Report:

Starting Grid

25 cars got off the line at Cerda, but one of them didn't even make it out of the town, as Ferrari had to stop his car after just 500m with a broken axle. Ascari got a good start and led the field towards Caltavuturo. When they emerged out of the mountains at Caltavuturo, Ascari was still leading, with Jules Goux rapidly making up positions. By the time they reached Petrial, Goux had taken the lead, having started down in 22nd. While they headed towards the Sicilian coast, the race settled down a bit, with Goux leading from Murphy, Ascari and Guinness. Towards the end of lap one, Guinness made a move on Ascari to gain 3rd place. Goux continued to pull away at an unrivalled speed. On the next laps, Clive Gallop, Felice Nazzaro and René Thomas all had to retire due to smaller accidents. None of them were injured, and neither were their riding mechanics. Jimmy Murphy also had to abandon the race when his Axle broke. On lap 5, disaster struck for Bugatti. Jules Goux, who had built a lead of almost two minutes, slid off the road, and the damage was too big to continue. Bugatti had lost a 1-2. As Guinness had retired a lap before, Ascari now retook the lead and was heading for an unchallenged victory. Henry Segrave was second. A very disappointed Jean Chassagne had to retire out of 3rd place when his engine failed on the penultimate lap, handing that position to Benz driver Christian Lautenschlager, who had just celebrated his 46th birthday on Friday. Giuseppe Campari finished fourth for FIAT, with Grand Prix debutant Louis-Antoine Voeckler getting his Bugatti to the finish in 5th position.

Entries are race by race, so you can't enter the French Grand Prix yet, unless you're planning to be away from the forum for a longer period of time. But your entry for the Belgian GP has been registered.
