CAR: ALFA ROME OGIULIETTA

The rebranded Handy Motorsport team – now HMS Racing – has taken the next step this year and has become a constructor in its own right by building the Alfa Romeo Giulietta.

The dealer network-backed car has been fast in testing without a proper set-up yet bolted on to it as the team gets to grips with the hatchback. The ever-popular Rob Austin knows how to win races too.

If the engineers and Austin can unlock the secrets of the Giulietta, he could take a real step forward this season. It is the car that everyone else on the grid has its eyes on.
