Encyclopedia
BMS Scuderia Italia SpA (sometimes referred to as simply Scuderia Italia) is an Italian
auto racing
team founded by Italian steel magnate
and motorsports enthusiast Giuseppe Lucchini in 1983. Initially named Brixia Motor Sport (BMS) and briefly entering the World Touring Car Championship
, the team's name was altered to BMS Scuderia Italia upon their entrance into Formula One
in . After departing Formula One in , BMS Scuderia Italia has been involved in the touring car racing
and sports car racing
.
Scuderia Italia has been involved with many automobile manufacturers, including Alfa Romeo
, Lancia
, Ferrari
, Nissan
, Porsche
, and Aston Martin
. The team is currently competing in the FIA GT Championship
with a pair of Ferrari F430
s, while their Brixia Racing arm competes in the FIA GT3 European Championship
and Italian GT Championship
with Aston Martin DBRS9
s.
, Giorgio Francia
, and Mirabella Racing's efforts in the Italian Group 6 Championship and later the World Endurance Championship
, Giuseppe Lucchini decided to form his own team. Named after the original Latin name for the team's base of Brescia
, Brixia Motor Sport campaigned an Alfa Romeo GTV6 in the Italian Rally Championship before replacing it with a Lancia 037
in 1985. Brixia returned to Alfa Romeo in 1987 as the team expanded to enter the new Alfa Romeo 75
in both the World Touring Car Championship
and the Italian Rally Championship. Alfa Romeo however chose to withdraw from the World Touring Car Championship, and Lucchini turned his attention to another World Championship.
in the coming year. Unable to construct their own car, Lucchini brokered a deal with Dallara
owner Giampaolo Dallara to construct a new car based on their experience as a Formula 3000 entry. Lucchini renamed his team BMS Scuderia Italia and placed Vittorio Palazzani in charge of the new entry. Sergio Rinland designed the new Dallara 188 and also served as the team's chief engineer. Cosworth
provided their Ford
DFZ V8
and Italian Alex Caffi
was signed to drive the team's sole entry. The team was unable to score any points, but qualified for fourteen of sixteen races during the year. Caffi earned a best finish of seventh at the Portuguese Grand Prix
, one position outside of the points.
Returning for , BMS Scuderia Italia entered a second car for the experienced Italian Andrea de Cesaris
alongside Caffi. The team's new Dallara 189s were designed by new engineer Mario Tolentino. At the third race of the year, the Monaco Grand Prix
, Caffi earned the team's first points finish when he came home in fourth, although the Constructors' Championship recognized Dallara rather than Scuderia Italia. Later that season, aided by heavy attrition at the Canadian Grand Prix
, both drivers earned points. De Cesaris earned the team's first podium as well by finishing in third place, while Caffi was two laps behind in sixth. For the rest of the year, however, the two were unable to score any more points, although Caffi qualified an outstanding third in the Hungarian Grand Prix
and both cars qualified in the top 10 in the season-ending Australian Grand Prix
. De Cesaris and Caffi were thus ranked 17th in the Drivers' Championship, while the combined total of eight points earned Dallara eighth in the Constructors' Championship.
In , team manager Patrizio Cantù departed the team and was replaced by former Ferrari
engineer Pierpaolo Gardella. Alex Caffi also left the team, moving to Arrows
. Emanuele Pirro
was signed as his replacement, although Gianni Morbidelli
was substituted in the first two races of the season when Pirro was unwell. The team struggled throughout the year, unable to earn points in any races (although de Cesaris started 3rd in the season-opening United States Grand Prix
) and only able to reach the finish in seven of the sixteen Grands Prix, although one of these finishes (de Cesaris in France) was later disqualified.
Disappointed with the Dallara 190, designer Tolentino was replaced by Nigel Cowperthwaite in for the design of the 191, and the team's Ford Cosworth engines were replaced by new Judd
V10s. De Cesaris also needed replacing, as he had signed to drive for the brand new Jordan
team. Finn
Jyrki Järvilehto, otherwise known as JJ Lehto, was signed and quickly gained BMS Scuderia Italia their first points since 1989, earning a third place finish at the San Marino Grand Prix
. Pirro followed this with sixth place at the Monaco Grand Prix
and his first point for the team. However, Lehto failed to finish more than half of the races during the year and Pirro struggled to prequalify for several races (but only in the first half of the season due to the 1990 disaster), and so the two were ranked twelfth and eighteenth respectively in the Drivers' Championship. Dallara once again earned eighth in the Constructors' Championship.
Giuseppe Lucchini was able to negotiate the use of year-old Ferrari
V12 engines for the season and gained Pierluigi Martini
as a replacement for Pirro who had been released by the team. Reliability increased as the team managed to complete all but four Grands Prix with at least one car. Martini scored the team's only points of the year with two consecutive sixth place finishes at the Spanish Grand Prix
and San Marino Grand Prix
, earning him sixteenth in the Drivers' Championship and Dallara tenth in the Constructors' Championship. However, friction between Dallara and Ferrari lead to Giuseppe Lucchini announcing that the team would run new cars constructed by Lola Cars of Britain
in , after the team had left Larrousse
the previous season. Ferrari remained as the engine supplier.
cigarettes, Lucchini signed Michele Alboreto
and rookie Luca Badoer
to the team. The team's switch to the newer Lola, however, did not improve their results, as Alboreto and Badoer struggled to qualify for several races. Badoer had the team's best finish of the year at the San Marino Grand Prix
with a seventh place, but by the final races of the season the team was struggling for money and chose to withdraw from the last two events, having earned no points all season.
At the end of the 1993 season Minardi
was also struggling for money, and Giancarlo Minardi
and Giuseppe Lucchini decided to merge their teams in order to continue into the season. The merged team returned to earning points in 1994 as well as before Lucchini chose to exit the venture in order to concentrate BMS Scuderia Italia on other programs.
approached BMS Scuderia Italia to campaign the company's Primeras
in the new German Super Tourenwagen Cup
which was announced for 1994
. German Michael Bartels
and Italian Ivan Capelli
were hired and completed the season sixth and eleventh in the Drivers Championship. The team expanded to three cars in 1995
, with Capelli joined by Sascha Maassen
and Kieth O'Dor. O'Dor won the team's only race of the season at AVUS
and finished tenth in the Drivers Championship; however, he was killed in a collision during the second race at AVUS that weekend.
Anthony Reid
replaced O'Dor on the squad in 1996
, but the team chose not to run the full season with all cars. Masseen led the team in the Drivers Championship by finishing sixteenth, but by then Giuseppe Lucchini had decided to move out of the Super Tourenwagen Cup, leaving Nissan to move to Team Rosberg
. BMS Scuderia Italia made a brief return to touring car racing in 1998 when they entered a pair of Alfa Romeo 155
s for Christian Pescatori
and Emanuele Moncini in the Italian Superturismo Championship
, but withdrew once more the following season.
's new racing car, the 911 GT1
. One of the team's former Formula One drivers, Pierluigi Martini
, returned to the company and shared the new car with Christian Pescatori
in the brand new FIA GT Championship
for 1997
. The duo scored a best finish of sixth at Helsinki
, earning them a single point to tie for ninth in the Teams Championship. BMS Scuderia Italia also entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans
for the first time with the 911 GT1, Brazilian Antônio Hermann de Azevedo joining Martini and Pescatori. The team finished in eighth place overall and fourth in their class.
In 1999
, the company returned to sports car racing, this time purchasing a pair of Ferrari 333 SP
sports prototype
for use in the Sports Racing World Cup
. Pescatori and Moncini were retained from the team's Italian Superturismo entry the previous year, while father and son, Angelo and Marco Zadra shared the second entry. Pescatori and Moncini scored a win at the Autodromo di Pergusa
, eventually finishing third and fourth respectively in the Drivers Championship. The team earned second in the Teams Championship, fourteen points shy of JB Racing.
For the 2000 season
, Austria
n Philipp Peter
and Swiss
Lilian Bryner
and Enzo Calderari joined the two Zadras in the Ferraris. A class win was earned by Bryner, Calderari, and Angelo Zadra at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
, although they did not win the race overall. The team finished the season second in the Teams Championship once again, while Marco Zadra and Philipp Peter tied for third in the Drivers Championship. Christian Pescatori briefly returned to the squad at the start of the 2001 season
of what was now known as the FIA Sportscar Championship, winning alongside Marco Zadra in the first race of the year. Pescatori was eventually replaced by Jean-Marc Gounon
, who also earned a victory for the team. BMS Scuderia Italia was able to secure the Teams Championship by a margin of 22 points, while Marco Zadra also won the Drivers Championship.
-built Ferrari 550 Maranellos in the series. Andrea Piccini and Jean-Denis Délétraz
shared the team's primary car, while the other car featured Lilian Bryner, Enzo Calderari, and Frédéric Dor, who was eventually replaced by Jean-Marc Gounon. After only three races, Piccini and Délétraz began a streak of consecutive victories, winning at Jarama
, Anderstorp
, and Oschersleben
. A further fourth victory ended the year at Estoril
. Even with four race victories, multiple races without points hurt the team and they were scored fourth in the Teams Championship. Piccini and Délétraz shared third in the Drivers Championship.
Under the guidance of new Technical Director Marco Gadola, the team expanded greatly in 2003
as a third car was added to their effort, running under the Care Racing banner. The team's driver pairings included Matteo Bobbi
and Thomas Biagi
, Fabrizio Gollin and Luca Cappellari, and Bryner and Calderari sharing the Care entry with Stefano Livio. The team opened the year on top by finishing first, second, and third at their first race. Bobbi and Biagi dominated the field by winning the next four races in a row, followed by a class win and second overall at the Spa 24 Hours
for Gollin, Cappellari, Bryner, and Calderari. Two more wins were earned in the remaining events of the season, giving the team a total of eight victories in ten races, not only earning the Teams Championship for BMS Scuderia Italia, but also third for the Care Racing banner as well. Bobbi and Biagi shared the Drivers Championship, Gollin and Cappellari second in the Championship, and Bryner and Calderari third.
The three Ferraris returned to defend their Championships in 2004
, retaining much of their driver lineup. Gabriele Gardel was the only replacement, taking over from Thomas Biagi as Bobbi's co-driver. The year started well for BMS Scuderia Italia once more as Gollin and Cappellari earned two consecutive victories, while Gardel and Bobbi earned their first at the fourth round of the season. The team also improved on their previous result at the Spa 24 Hours
, winning the race overall with Gollin and Cappellari sharing with Bryner and Calderari. Lilian Bryner was therefore the first female driver ever to win an international 24 hours event. The team finished the season with five total victories, winning their second Teams Championship, while Gollin and Cappellari earned the Drivers Championship that year.
Although BMS Scuderia Italia was the defending two-time FIA GT Champion, Giuseppe Lucchini decided to switch series in order to concentrate on endurance racing. Two of the team's Ferraris were entered in the new Le Mans Endurance Series
as well as the national Italian GT Championship
. Christian Pescatori
returned to the team, joined by newcomers Michele Bartyan, Toni Seiler, Matteo Cressoni, and Miguel Ramos. The Gollin, Cressoni, and Ramos trio won the opening Le Mans race of the year while Pescatori, Bartyan, and Seiler won two of the remaining four events. In Italian GT, the team won five of the seven races over the year, as well as two races in the GT2 class with a Ferrari 360 Modena GTC run in partnership with Racing Team Edil Cris. Teams Championships were secured in both Le Mans and Italian GT's GT1 classes, earning the squad their third consecutive victorious year with the Ferrari 550. The two 550s were also entered in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the second time in the team's history. Both however failed to finish the race, retiring early.
and their new DBR9
race car. Prodrive's own team was concentrating on the 24 Hours of Le Mans, while Larbre Compétition
was tasked with competing in the Le Mans Series. This left BMS Scuderia Italia, now running under the Aston Martin Racing BMS banner, to return to the FIA GT Championship as Aston Martin's representative. Former FIA GT champion Fabrizio Gollin was partnered with Fabio Babini
, while former Le Mans Series champions Pescatori and Ramos shared the second Aston Martin. A trio of new Aston Martin DBRS9
s were also entered by the team in the new FIA GT3 European Championship
for amateur drivers.
The squad however did not return to the FIA GT Championship in the same fashion in which they had left it in 2004. The team was unable to score any victories, and in fact was unable to finish any better than third on multiple occasions. However, even though the team lacked victories, they were able to consistently score points, enough to finish second in the Teams Championship. Fabio Babini was the team's highest scoring driving, earning ninth in the Drivers Championship. The team's 24 Hours of Le Mans
entry was also short-lived as their lone Aston Martin crashed heavily after only three laps. BMS Scuderia Italia's FIA GT3 effort earned a single win for fourth place in the Teams Championship.
For the 2007 season
, BMS Scuderia Italia remained Aston Martin's primary team in the FIA GT Championship, but the team also purchased a Porsche 997 GT3-RSR
for the series' lower GT2 class. Porsche
factory driver Emmanuel Collard
drove alongside Matteo Malucelli, earning a class win at the Spa 24 Hours
and finishing the season second in the GT2 Teams Championship. The primary GT1 team however struggled throughout the year, earning no victories and earning sixth in the Teams Championship. The team's DBR9 however was able to have a strong performance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
by finishing eleventh overall and sixth in GT1. In FIA GT3, the DBRS9 won the final event of the year and the team secured third place in the Teams Championship.
with the company's Aston Martin DBRS9s.
In FIA GT, BMS Scuderia Italia has moved on from both Aston Martin and Porsche, as the team purchased two Ferrari F430
s for the GT2 Championship. Paolo Ruberti and Matteo Malucelli share the team's #77 entry, while Davide Rigon is partnered with Joël Camathias
in the #78. The team also entered one of their Ferraris in the 24 Hours of Le Mans
and finished second in the GT2 class, aided by the return of Fabio Babini
