Early years
The company was founded by designer Gian Paolo Dallara in 1972, near Parma, Italy, and started building chassis for sports car racing and hillclimbing, racing in the smaller engine classes. Dallara Automobili is an Italian Chassis manufacturer for various Motor racing series being most notable for its near- Monopoly in Formula 3 Parma is a City in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna near Modena famous for its Architecture and the fine countryside around it Italy (Italia officially the Italian Republic, (Repubblica Italiana is located on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe, and on the two largest A sports car is a term used to describe a class of Automobile. Hillclimbing (also known as hill climbing, speed hillclimbing or speed hill climbing) is a branch of Motorsport in which drivers compete against In 1978 the company moved to the Italian F3 Championship, where it dominated the field and won the championship ever since. Dallara had a brief involvement in Formula 3000 in the mid 1980s.
Formula One
In 1988 the company became a Formula One constructor, after being hired by Scuderia Italia to build their chassis. The 1988 Formula One season was the 39th FIA Formula One World Championship season The following is a list of constructors which have competed or plan to compete in the FIA World Championship. The relationship between the Italian constructor and Beppe Luchinni's racing outfit endured until 1992, with their best result being two third places: one at the 1989 Canadian Grand Prix with Andrea de Cesaris; the other at the 1991 San Marino Grand Prix, thanks to JJ Lehto. The 1992 Formula One season was the 43rd FIA Formula One World Championship season The 1989 Canadian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on June 18, 1989. Andrea de Cesaris (born May 31 1959) is an Italian former race car driver The 1991 San Marino Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at Imola on April 28, 1991. The San Marino Grand Prix was a Formula One championship race which was run at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in the town of Imola, near the Early career Like many racing drivers he began in karts at age 5 winning numerous events before graduating to Formula Ford at the early age of age 14 Dallara would return briefly to F1 in 1999, building the test-chassis for Honda's planned and aborted return to the series. History Honda Racing and engine suppliers Honda Racing had last competed in Formula One as a constructor in the 1960s but had pulled out of the sport During 2004, Dallara recruited ex-Jordan, Stewart and Jaguar F1 designer Gary Anderson, leading to speculation that the Italian company was working on another F1 project. Late in 2004 the nascent Midland team announced that Dallara would be designing and building their Formula One chassis which was due to be entered for the 2006 season. Following Midland's purchase of the Jordan team for early entry to F1 in 2005, Dallara continued co-operating with the team technically. However the relationship fizzled out as Midland focussed its resources on developing the existing Jordan infrastructure and a new Dallara F1 chassis never appeared.
Other Formulae
In 1993, Dallara built their F393 chassis for Formula 3, a car that was so competitive it forced every team to drop their Reynard and Ralt chassis, driving them out of nearly every F3 market, which became Dallara's playground in the following years. Reynard Motorsport was at one time the world's largest racing car manufacturer RALT was a manufacturer of single-seater Racing cars founded by ex- Jack Brabham associate Ron Tauranac after he sold out his interest in Brabham Only a few one-off entries, mostly from Martini Cars, attempted to fight the Italian company's dominion. Dallara eventually branched into other areas with equal success, establishing another near-monopoly in the Indy Racing League, starting in 1997. The Indy Racing League, better known as IRL, is the sanctioning body of a predominantly American based Open-wheel racing series.
Dallara was one of the original chassis constructors when the IRL debuted its own chassis in late 1996. The Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, often shortened to Indianapolis 500 or Indy 500, and historically known simply as "The 500" is an American The cars were most notably differentiated from the competing G-Force chassis by the ovoid shape of the air intake inlet, while the G-Force's was triangular, a design characteristic that both manufacturers still retain. Dallara cars have won seven of the eleven Indianapolis 500's they have contested. The Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, often shortened to Indianapolis 500 or Indy 500, and historically known simply as "The 500" is an American For the 2006 season, over 80% of the field began the season with Dallaras, a possible symptom of competitor Panoz's perceived lack of interest in the series. The 2006 Indy Racing League IndyCar Series season began on March 26 and concluded on September 10. Panoz Auto Development is an American manufacturer of high-performance automobiles founded in 1989 by Dan Panoz, son of pharmaceutical and motorsport mogul Don Panoz Currently, all IRL teams use Dallara chassis, although a few teams entered Panozes into the 2007 Indianapolis 500. The 91st Indianapolis 500 ran on Sunday May 27, 2007 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Endurance racing is a form of motorsport which is meant to test the durability of equipment and endurance of participants The first project was the Ferrari 333 SP, made for the new WSC regulations in the IMSA GT Championship. The Ferrari 333 SP was a sports prototype car built by Michelotto to World Sports Car regulations for Ferrari. IMSA GT was a Sports car racing series organized by International Motor Sports Association. IMSA GT was a Sports car racing series organized by International Motor Sports Association. The 333 SP, manufactured at Michelotto, won a great number of races both in North America and Europe. Ferrari also hired Dallara to develop the racing version of the Ferrari F50, financed by French racing driver Fabien Giroix, but the project was aborted before it got off the ground, in 1998. The Ferrari F50 was a mid-engined range-topping Sports car made by Ferrari.

The Dallara SP1, also known as the Chrysler LMP, was a Le Mans Prototype built by Italian firm Dallara. The 24 Hours of Le Mans ( 24 Heures du Mans) is a sports car endurance race held annually since near the town of Le Mans, Sarthe, All these cars were competitive in prototype sports car racing, with the Audi R8 in particular becoming the most dominant chassis in modern times at the 24 Hours and the American Le Mans Series.
