Alfa Romeo GTA Alfa Delta n18 Red / Blue

The Alfa Romeo GTA on track in 1/24 scale, with the unmistakable Alfa Delta livery

Few cars evoke as much admiration among classic motorsport enthusiasts as the Alfa Romeo GTA. The "Gran Turismo Alleggerita" —literally, the lightened Gran Turismo— was the result of applying the Italian philosophy of maximising weight reduction to gain agility where displacement cannot be increased. It dominated the European Touring Car Championship in the late 1960s and left an indelible mark on the history of competitive motorsport.

BRM, a company specialised in 1/24 scale slot cars for competition, has captured that spirit in the reference BRM-142: the Alfa Romeo GTA with the Alfa Delta livery in red and blue, featuring the number 18. A colour combination with its own character, which faithfully reproduces the atmosphere of classic European touring car grids that the most discerning enthusiasts will appreciate.

Features and highlights

• 1/24 scale: the ultimate competition format on club circuits, offering greater physical presence and more mechanical adjustment margin than 1/32 scale.
• Alfa Delta livery No.18: carefully applied red and blue decoration, recreating the visual spirit of period competition GTAs.
• High-precision metal chassis: ensures structural rigidity, low centre of gravity, and constant stability on track, critical factors in 1/24.
• Adjustable mechanics: the pod and suspension allow configurations tailored to the type of circuit and each user's driving style.
• Optimised motorisation: balance between power and control, designed to perform in club competition without sacrificing drivability.
• Precision axles and competition tyres: components designed to maximise traction and cornering response.

Scale and level of detail

The 1/24 scale sets a high standard for both visual detail and mechanical demands. The BRM-142 meets that standard with a body that reproduces the unmistakable features of the GTA —its low, rounded profile, compact proportions, and unmistakably Italian flair— combined with competition engineering that goes far beyond a display model.

Track behaviour

The metal chassis provides a solid foundation to work from. The ability to adjust the pod allows for variations in weight distribution and body height, two parameters that make a real difference in lap times on 1/24 circuits. The rear end with precision axles and high-grip tyres completes a set designed to perform well on both technical circuits and faster layouts.

Ideal for…

• Club competitors looking for a 1/24 scale car with an adjustable and proven mechanical base.
• Collectors passionate about classic European touring car motorsport and the history of the Alfa Romeo GTA.
• Enthusiasts who want to combine the thrill of competition with the aesthetics of great period cars.

The BRM-142 is designed for 1/24 scale, a format with its own track and electronic requirements. If you are starting in this scale, keep in mind that circuits, power supplies, and accessories are specific to 1/24 and differ from those used in 1/32 scale. Consult with us if you have questions about compatibility with your current setup.
