Design and development
Unlike the preceding Alfa Romeo F1 cars, the 183T chassis was not designed by Alfa Romeo's
Formula 3
with Alfa Romeo engines.
The 183T was basically an updated version of the teams
FIA
imposed a 220-liter fuel limit on the cars and banned stops for fuel, the V8 engine's fuel consumption, plus its shortage of power would see Alfa wane as a Formula One front runner.
Racing history
The 183T took 18 points from 29 entries. Andrea de Cesaris managed to score two second-place finishes and also gained one fastest lap at Spa Francorchamps,[5] a race that he started from the 2nd row and led over half of the distance.
The 183T was used in early season testing before the 1984 season, fitted with new sidepods that would later appear on its successor, the Alfa Romeo 184T. However, the 183T was retired before the start of the season and was not further used in competition.
