hhmm without Alfa Romeo, there would be no Ferrari?

Possibly.

Enzo Ferrari once worked for Alfa Romeo and raced for Alfa Romeo. Later he even started and managed a racing team for Alfa Romeo named Scuderia Ferrari.

is this your answer? !? ?

Yes it is, the little I know of Enzo Ferrari. You could probably dig up his biography for more details.

Look what I found;

This is what Ferrari had to say when he was a passenger with Nuvolari driving on a circuit he did not know.

"At the first bend," Ferrari writes, "I had the clear sensation that Tazio had taken it badly and that we would end up in the ditch; I felt myself stiffen as I waited for the crunch. Instead, we found ourselves on the next straight with the car in a perfect position. I looked at him," Ferrari goes on. "His rugged face was calm, just as it always was, and certainly not the face of someone who had just escaped a hair-raising spin. I had the same sensation at the second bend. By the fourth or fifth bend I began to understand; in the meantime, I had noticed that through the entire bend Tazio did not lift his foot from the accelerator, and that, in fact, it was flat on the floor. As bend followed bend, I discovered his secret. Nuvolari entered the bend somewhat earlier than my driver's instinct would have told me to. But he went into the bend in an unusual way: with one movement he aimed the nose of the car at the inside edge, just where the curve itself started. His foot was flat down, and he had obviously changed down to the right gear before going through this fearsome rigmarole. In this way he put the car into a four-wheel drift, making the most of the thrust of the centrifugal force and keeping it on the road with the traction of the driving wheels. Throughout the bend the car shaved the inside edge, and when the bend turned into the straight the car was in the normal position for accelerating down it, with no need for any corrections." Ferrari honestly admits that he soon became used to this exercise, because he saw Nuvolari do it countless times. "But each time I seemed to be climbing into a roller coaster and finding myself coming through the downhill run with that sort of dazed feeling that we all know."

Four wheel drifting ok, in cars that look like this http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/6192/fer19zt3.jpg.

Did the author of Initial D get his idea for Takumi here?

Hmm to spice things up a little..... look at this ad.
