Hello Sirs,
Well here is my interpretation of the Alfa P2 Varzi.
My apologies to Marlon, by damaging one of his creations .... but my ability is less than more.
I allowed myself to change the heads of the pilots ...... we all have our vices.

Alfa Romeo P2 officer of "Alfa Corse" winner of the XXI Targa Florio (Sicily, 1930). The race driver, Achille Varzi, is accompanied by his trusted mechanic, Giovanni "Giannella" Tabacchi, the craftsman (usually, in those years, kept anonymous) commissioned the imposing 8-cylinder engine of 2.0 liters and 160 hp for a curb weight of 630 kilos, it sounds smoothly. After 5 laps to complete a perimeter of 108.0 km Varzi-Tabacchi,, they gave a whole corrective to the Bugatti Type 35-B of its predecessors, Louis Chiron and Count Caberto Conelli.

The Targa 1930 was memorable for the Italian fans who attended the race sporting director Vittorio Jano, he decided to adapt to the path of the Madonie two famous 'P2'. The main change was quite simple: the cars were deprived of part of its body, tail, making room for necessary spare tires that would call for the race

The first round of Varzi was spectacular, a record pace to an average of 79,665; Alfa Campari and Nuvolari in 1750 not to be outdone, they followed in second and third place ahead ten seconds Chiron in his Bugatti.

Varzi is perfect and leave a long memory in the audience: his skill at the wheel of that car , passed unnoticed Chiron legendary performance already in the second round is wedged behind the 'P2' red. Followed by Nuvolari, Campari, Divo, Conelli and Borzacchini.

No registered in the third round while the fourth goes astray Divo changes. The other two runners Bugatti, Conelli and Williams do not measure and remains the only Chiron to defend the prestige of Varzi Bugatti against evil.

On the last lap, after the descent of Polizzi, Chiron has a slip, the four wheels are completely smooth; He stops to change and decides to leave behind his young mechanic, and so relieved, he rushes to the finish line in second position, with the engine over 5,000 rpm.

Varzi meanwhile, had suffered an accident after changing the set of tires had punctured the fuel tank, which began to leak. Finally, because of a spark, a large fire burning behind the driver; Varzi decided not to stop and avoided the flames and waited for the mechanical extinguished, helped by the wind. At the finish Varzi knew from the URL of the crowd (Chiron had already arrived) that the trial had proved him right: he had won, Achille Varzi in an Alfa Romeo P2, hair burned by flames.
