Alfa Romeo began motor racing immediately after it was established. A.L.F.A. ventured into motor racing in 1911, with drivers Franchini and Ronzoni competing in the Targa Florio with 2 24 horsepower models. The marque's 1st achiever came in 1913 when Nino Franchini finished 2nd in Parma-Poggio Berceto race with a 40-60HP. Giuseppe Merosi built a real advanced racing car in 1914, which was named the Grand Prix. In 1920 Giuseppe Campari won the race at Mugello with a 40-60HP, although Enzo Ferrari was 2nd in Targa Florio in the same twelvemonth. A year afterward Giuseppe Campari won at Mugello again. Ugo Sivocci won the 1923 Targa Florio with an RL and Antonio Ascari acquired 2nd. Sivocci's car was colored with the green cloverleaf on a white background that was to become Alfa's good fortune token. used car finder
