Alfa Romeo is one of the leading automobile companies which are involved in manufacturing cars, trucks and light commercial vehicles. Alfa Romeo is an Italian based company which was started in 1910. Alfa Romeo has since then been involved in manufacturing high speed racing cars and also involved in car racing since 1911. Alfa Romeo Company initially concentrated mainly on producing world class competitive racing cars to be involved in car races. The company also became a part of Fiat groups in 1986. Alfa Romeo’s headquarters and manufacturing factory is in Milan. In the year 1920, after the world war, the company also started producing road cars along with race cars. The race cars of Alfa Romeo became an instant success in all formats of the car racing fraternity. Various head designers were appointed to design competitive race cars for Alfa Romeo. During the Second World War, the manufacturing factory unit was bombed and shattered completely. The company was unable to manufacturing racing cars and other high profile cars for a long time. It concentrated on producing small mass produced cars after the bombing. In 1952, Alfa Romeo produced its first front wheel driving compact car. It was named Project 13-61, Tipo.

For a beginner, the sheer amount of brands, varieties and specs of RC vehicles can be overwhelming. There are literally hundreds of types of RC cars and trucks, all with different engines, performance levels and completely customizable details.  This puts hobby quality RC cars on a whole different level than toys and replicas, and is what makes them so much more interesting and exciting to play with.
While the actual mechanics of how each RC vehicle works can vary greatly from one to the next, the basic principles remain the same. Once you understand how RC cars work, you’ll have a better idea of just what’s involved, and which one would be right for you.
There are four main parts to an RC vehicle:
• Transmitter: This is the control you hold in your hand, usually powered by a 9-volt battery. Using radio frequencies, the transmitter relays the steering and control commands you give it to the receiver.
• Receiver: There are two parts to the receiver- an antenna and a circuit board inside the car. The radio frequencies sent by the transmitter are picked up by the receiver and relayed to the various appropriate parts of the vehicle.    
• Motor(s): RC cars and trucks feature a variety of different types of engines, all with varying degrees of difficulty and output. The motor is often said to be the heart of the RC car and is the most intricate part of building your own RC.
• Power Source: Of course power is needed for acceleration, steering and overall engine output. Aside from the 9-volt battery in the transmitter, the power source depends on the type of car: electric cars run on rechargeable, replaceable battery pack while nitro cars use a fuel mixture similar to what runs a real car.
What does RC Stand For?
If you’re new to RC it can often be confusing just what is meant- radio or remote control cars. Though the two are often used interchangeably, this is incorrect; they are not the same thing at all, since the way they transmit signals is completely different. You can spot a remote control car by the wire connecting the controller to the car itself. Radio control vehicles, on the other hand, use radio frequencies to send messages from the steering controls on the transmitter to the receiver in the car.
There are FCC regulations for all consumer electronics that use radio frequencies, in order to properly allocate the frequencies on the band without too much interference. Usually RC vehicles operate at 27MHz or 49MHz frequencies- the same as your walkie talkie or garage door opener. More advanced RC models like planes require a higher frequency, and are regulated to 72MHz or 75MHz. Always consult your manual to make sure you’re using the correct frequency, and for instructions on how to change frequency.
As long as you’re running your RC by yourself, all you need to do is follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to choose the correct frequency for your vehicle. But when it comes to race time or even just practicing with friends, you’ll need to make sure every one has their own frequency or the signals will get crossed. If you’re at an official race, the organizers take care of this by providing each racer with a specific frequency and a flag with which to mark your car. In order to avoid crossed signals, you’ll need to make sure when practicing that you follow a similar process.

He believes that a person who wants to become a successful racer should be physically, mentally and emotionally fit so that he can successfully overcome the tough aspects of the sport. He also says that a focused presence of mind helps racers while driving on the race course. Practice, determination will power, focus and confidence are some of the factors responsible for his success in racing circles. Steve Ventre is passionate about car racing and is not afraid of taking risk in life. All through the years, he has won praise and respect from his friends and peers.

Steve Ventre is also a golf player and often finds time from his busy schedule for playing golf with friends and colleagues. He shares some useful tips which help players in improving their performance in a game. A balanced diet along with regular exercise is highly beneficial for golfers. Steve Ventre suggests that golf players should avoid eating food in large quantities at one time. His personal experience has helped him understand the effect of a balanced and nutritious diet on one’s performance. Drinking lots of water also helps in providing energy during long hours of the play. Another important aspect which requires due consideration by the golf players is the choice of quality equipment for playing golf. Quality equipment does not mean that golfers need to spend heavily on expensive clubs but one should choose equipment that one feels most comfortable with.

Steve Ventre has studied business at USMC National University and was decorated with high honors and discharged honorably from the university. Apart from playing golf and racing, he regularly donates to several charities and non-profit organizations working for the welfare of women and children.

As a Sports fan and a Follower of British Motor Racing I thought I would write about Brooklands – the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit constructed at Weybridge, Surrey in 1907 and Britain’s first airfield in 1908. Brooklands was the birthplace of British motor sport and aviation, home of Concorde and the site of many engineering and technological achievements throughout the 20th century and beyond.
