"Classic Days", the yearly meeting dedicated to the cars of yesteryear, will be staged from August 4th to 6th 2017 at the medieval castle of Schloss Dyck, not far from Düsseldorf, Germany. A car of the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, the 155 V6 Ti DTM will represent the brand. The car competed in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) which was by far the most prestigious touring car racing championship in the early nineties. At first, all competitors were exclusively German until 1993, when Alfa Romeo decided to take part officially with the 155 V6 Ti driven by Alessandro Nannini and Nicola Larini and other cars entered by semi-official teams.
The debut was resounding: the 155 V6 Ti won both rounds in the first race in Zolder (Belgium). By the end of the season, Larini had won no fewer than 10 out of 20 races, which added to Nannini's two wins and the many podiums and good standings of the two Italians, secured the Constructors title for Alfa Romeo and the Drivers title for Larini. It was nothing short of a shock for the Germans, who reluctantly accepted that the top level 1993 DTM championship had gone to an Italian brand in the year of its debut.
