RACER – The Story of Alfie Costanzo
Coming from a small village in Italy with virtually no cars and migrating to Australia in the late 1950’s, Alfie Costanzo overcame the odds to become one of the greatest drivers in Australian history.
The film is the story of four-time (consecutive) Australian Drivers Champion Alfredo “Alfie” Costanzo as told by his son Alfredo Jnr. and those that were part of his life and career. It is a story of ambition, determination, family, success and all the ups and downs that are a part of motor racing.
Approximate running time – 54 minutes
