Masterwerk Posted 14December, 2019 Report Share Posted 14December, 2019 Hi All, Have a look at this story about Alf Costanzo, some good Porsche history in it. https://www.speedcafe.com/2019/12/11/video-racer-the-story-of-alfie-costanzo/ Zelrik911, James P, jnr356 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 14December, 2019 Report Share Posted 14December, 2019 What a fantastic story and well shot video. Wish my dad was here, as he would have loved seeing this being a massive fan of Alfie back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR901 Posted 14December, 2019 Report Share Posted 14December, 2019 Thanks for sharing !! Alf is a true gentleman & wonderful driver. I had the pleasure of being in his orbit a couple of times. He signed off my National Rally Licence many years ago....I was so nervous with him in the car I span on the first corner. He was so calm, looked at me & said “don’t worry, you’re not gonna do that again....let’s go”. He spent the next ten laps telling he’d driven a “couple of Porsche’s” in his time. What surprised me was how calm & gentle he was (despite my driving) & also how humble he was.... I also recall a guy bringing his new Lambo to Sandown. Alf kept saying what a beautiful car, I never drove one before....he said it so many times the guy handed him the keys but insisted they go together. They came back to the pits & the guy was white !!! He said he’s never been more terrified & was convinced he was going to die because Alf brakes so late...ha ha...while this guy was shaking Alf was doing his full Italian “what a beautiful car” with full hand gestures. A wonderful talent & a lovely man !! I will always have great memories of him.... Thanks again for sharing.....

KGB Posted 17December, 2019 Report Share Posted 17December, 2019 I’m fortunate enough to see him quite often, lovely man. Sadly, he lost his wife after a short illness only very recently. LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
