WINNER OF ALFA ROMEO’S MAN VERSUS MITO RACE REVEALED

The latest in the series of Man versus MiTo videos is available now on www.facebook.com/alfaromeouk  and will confirm who took the all important chequered flag in the race around the busy streets of London.

 

Alfa Romeo, Official Car Supplier to UK Athletics (UKA), staged the athletics challenge, pitting MAN (former European and Commonwealth 400m Champion, Iwan Thomas) against MACHINE (Alfa MiTo) in a 3.8-mile race around central London's bustling city streets, starting and finishing at Tower Bridge.

 

Behind the wheel of the Alfa MiTo - which in the range now includes the congestion charge beating 1.3 JTDM-2 85 bhp version - were two of Britain's brightest World Championship medal contenders; European and Commonwealth 110m hurdles Champion Andy Turner took the driver's seat, with 'pinpoint' navigational assistance from UK Long Jump record holder Chris Tomlinson.

 

The full series of films are available to view on www.facebook.com/alfaromeouk 

 

Alfa Romeo has supported UKA since 2006 and the partnership includes supplying a fleet of vehicles to UKA coaches, staff and athletes, as well as a financial contribution towards the UKA programme.

 

The new model year Alfa MiTo is now available at Alfa Romeo dealerships across the UK. To find out more visit www.alfaromeo.co.uk
