The Italian company Alfa Romeo was founded in the beginning of the 20th century, and have been involved in car racing ever since. With the success of the touring car “RL” which debuted in 1922, the Grand Prix car “P1” was developed for the following year. During the P1's debut race at the Italian Gran Prix, one of the drivers passed away in an accident during the practice run and further Grand Prix activities seemed grim for the team. However, the team would later introduce future-Ferrari designer Vittorio Jano into the team, who was working under the strongest team, Fiat, up until then. Yano's first design for the team would be the P2 – a car equipped with a DOHC straight-8 cylinder 2L supercharged engine. It debuted at the 1924 Cremona Grand Prix where it took its maiden victory, and it would see many victories after, even allowing Alfa Romeo to take the first ever Automobile World Championship in 1925.
