For detailed article about 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Speciale Le Mans I'm looking info about post-war races for this unique car. And I do hope that the local experts could help me.

As I see from my research the first post-war race for 8C 2900B Speciale Le Mans was the race which Simon Moor in his book "Immortal 2.9: Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 A&B" mentioned as "Flying Kilometer of the Roma". This race was held at April 28, 1946 and I can't find mention about this race in the web except this:

Follow the link and see the 1946 section.

Does anybody have the full results for the "Flying Kilometer of the Roma" and (it would be really great) the pics with 8C 2900B Speciale Le Mans from the race?

Thanks a lot in advance for help.
