On the five occasions when a Coloni car finished a race, no points were scored.

Origins of the team

The team was founded in 1983 by Enzo Coloni, a racing driver from Perugia, Italy. Perugia is the capital City of the region of Umbria in central Italy, near the Tiber river and the capital of the Province of Perugia Coloni competed during the 1970s and after participating in the Italian Formula 3 series for several years, he won the drivers' title in 1982 when he was 36 years old. Before that, Coloni, who was also called "the wolf" (a nickname that would later be reflected in his company's logo), had also taken part in two Formula Two races, one in 1980 with the San Remo team and another one in 1982 with the Minardi team. Formula Two, abbreviated to F2, was a type of Formula racing. Minardi was an Automobile racing team and constructor founded in 1979 by Giancarlo Minardi. At the end of 1982, he gave up active racing and started managing his own team, initially in Italian Formula Three. Formula Three, also called Formula 3 or F3, is a class of open-wheel formula racing.

Formula Three and Formula 3000 (1983 - 1986)

Success came almost immediately: the team won the 1984 Italian Formula 3 championship with Ivan Capelli. Ivan Franco Capelli (born in Milan, May 24, 1963) is an Italian former Formula One driver In 1986, Coloni Motorsport appeared in Formula 3000, entering an out-dated March 85B with drivers like Nicola Larini and Gabriele Tarquini. March Engineering was a Formula One constructor and manufacturer of customer racing cars from Britain. Nicola Larini (born March 19, 1964) is a Racing driver from Italy. Gabriele Tarquini (born in Giulianova, March 2, 1962) is a Racing driver from Italy. The Formula 3000 attempt was unsuccessful. Nonetheless the team progressed to Formula One the next year.

Formula One (1987 - 1991)

Coloni-Ford (1987 – 1989)

The FIA's announcement that turbos would be banned from Formula One from 1989 - making the sport more affordable - was the trigger for Enzo Coloni to enter the category. Enzo Coloni Racing Car Systems made its first appearance in Formula One at the 1987 Italian Grand Prix in September 1987. Results from the 1987 Formula One Italian Grand Prix held at Monza on September 6, 1987. The yellow painted FC 187, powered by a Novamotor-prepared Cosworth DFZ, was a simple machine designed by former Dallara apprentice Roberto Ori. Cosworth is an Automotive engineering company founded in London in 1958 specialising in engines for automobile racing (motorsport Dallara Automobili is an Italian Chassis manufacturer for various Motor racing series being most notable for its near- Monopoly in Formula 3 Coloni himself had carried out the shake-down drive but Nicola Larini was the race driver. The car was obviously not ready and Larini did not qualify. The Italian recorded Coloni’s first Formula One race start at the next race, the 1987 Portuguese Grand Prix, although mechanical problems meant that he did not finish. Results from the 1987 Formula One Portuguese Grand Prix held at Estoril on September 20, 1987. The team did not fly to the end of year overseas races that year, so Larini’s retirement from the Spanish Grand Prix that year ended their first season. The Spanish Grand Prix ( Español Gran Premio de España, Català Gran Premi d'Espanya) is a Formula One

The 1988 season was the team's first full season and started well. The 1988 Formula One season was the 39th FIA Formula One World Championship season Although the "new" FC 188 was almost identical with its predecessor, Coloni's new driver Gabriele Tarquini qualified regularly and finished 8th at the Canadian Grand Prix. The 1988 Canadian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on June 12 1988 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal. This turned out to be Coloni's best result in Formula One. Due to a shortage of funds very little development work was done during the year. The team’s performance suffered as a result and qualification or even prequalification were no longer certain. The team scored no points this year.

The 1989 Monaco Grand Prix was the only race in which two Colonis qualified. The 1989 Monaco Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at Monaco on May 7, 1989. Raphanel leads Piquet through the tunnel.

Although money was tight for 1989, Coloni entered two cars for Roberto Moreno and French newcomer Pierre-Henri Raphanel. Career Substitute Moreno stood in for Nigel Mansell at Lotus at the 1982 Dutch Grand Prix after Mansell broke his wrist in the previous Pierre-Henri Raphanel (born May 27, 1961 in Algiers, Algeria) is a former Racing driver who raced under the French flag despite being The FC 188Bs were another update of the 1987 car and were hard to handle and about 20 km/h slower than the rest of the grid. Nonetheless, both drivers were able to qualify for the Monaco Grand Prix. The Monaco Grand Prix (Grand Prix de Monaco is a Formula One race held each year on the Circuit de Monaco. This was the only race participation of a Coloni in the first part of the season. In Canada, Coloni presented a new car (the Coloni C3) which was penned by former AGS man Christian Vanderpleyn. Automobiles Gonfaronnaises Sportives ("AGS" or Gonfaron Sports Cars) was a small French racecar constructor who competed in various racing categories The C3 was a basically good design but the team suffered again from a complete lack of testing. This meant that the team often failed to find the right set up for the races. The team failed to qualify for most of the rest of the season - only at the Portuguese Grand Prix did Moreno qualify, in 15th place, after a developmental front wing was fitted. The 1989 Portuguese Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at Estoril on September 24, 1989. Unfortunately for the team, he then collided with Eddie Cheever in the warm-up [1] and had to use the spare car. Edward "Eddie" McKay Cheever Jr (born January 10, 1958) is an American racing driver who raced for almost thirty years in Formula One He did not finish the race as the engine blew up after a handful of laps. As results failed to arrive, the team was cut back throughout the year. After Vanderpleyn had left the team in September, Enzo Coloni took over the engineer's job himself but unsurprisingly this brought no improvement. Neither did the new driver Enrico Bertaggia who replaced Raphanel for the last races. Enrico Bertaggia (born September 19, 1964 in Noale, Venice) is a former racing driver from Italy.

Coloni-Subaru (1990)

An unexpected contract with Subaru, the automobile branch of Fuji Heavy Industries, brought substantial monetary backing and additionally an exclusive "works" engine for free. is the automobile manufacturing division of Japanese transportation conglomerate Fuji Heavy Industries Co or FHI, is a Japanese company which traces its origins to the Nakajima Aircraft Company (est The Japanese took over 51% of Coloni formula, paid the debts and supported the new alliance with a brand new, unique engine. It was a flat-12 engine which in fact was penned by Carlo Chiti. A flat-12 is an Internal combustion engine in a flat configuration having 12 cylinders The flat-12 is wider (but significantly lower in height than Carlo Chiti ( December 19 1924 - July 7 1994) was an Italian racing car and engine designer Chiti's Motori Moderni company at Novara had supplied V6 Turbo engines for the Minardi Formula One team from 1985 to 1987, and in 1988 Chiti had penned a normally aspirated V12 engine that attracted Subaru. Motori Moderni was a Formula One engine manufacturer from 1985 through 1987. Novara ( Nuara in the local Novarese dialect of Western Lombard) is the capital city of the Province of Novara in the Piedmont region in northwest A V6 engine is a V engine with six cylinders mounted on the Crankcase in two banks of three cylinders In late 1988, the Japanese commissioned Chiti to design a new Formula One engine with a "flat" layout - as used in their road cars - that was ready in the Summer of 1989. The engine - now with a Subaru badge - was tested in a Minardi M188 chassis but due to a severe lack of power Minardi very soon lost interest. After a few months of searching, Subaru found the Coloni team. Eventually, the "Subaru Coloni" Team was founded with Enzo Coloni staying on board as the man for operational business.

By the beginning of 1990, the "Subaru" flat engine was not producing more than 500 bhp, so the Coloni Subaru was one of the least competitive machines regularly competing in Formula One in 1990 (eclipsed only by the even slower Life car). Life was a Formula One constructor from Modena Italy. The company was named for its founder Ernesto Vita ("Vita" is Italian for "Life" Subaru and Chiti agreed to build a new V12 engine for Summer 1990 together with a completely new chassis, but in the meantime the flat engine should be used by the "Coloni Subaru" Team in a carry-over chassis. Early in 1990, a handful of Enzo Coloni's mechanics worked on a single C3 and tried to put the Subaru engine in it. The work was not done until the day the FIA started shipping the Formula One material to Phoenix. Phoenix (ˈfiːˌnɪks O'odham Skikik, Yavapai Wasinka, Western Apache Fiinigis, Navajo Hoozdo, In the pits at Phoenix, the car was assembled for the very first time, and a short private "practice" took place on a parking area of an American supermarket. On prequalification day of Phoenix the world saw Coloni's "new" model C3B which wore a white, red and green livery. Without an airbox but with wide, long sidepods, it looked like a tank, was overweight by 300 pounds and nearly impossible to handle. Neither at Phoenix nor at any other event, did Bertrand Gachot, Coloni's new driver, manage to prequalify the car. Bertrand Gachot (born December 23, 1962 in Luxembourg) is a Belgian former Racing driver. As the season went on, improvements were few and results stayed nowhere. Meanwhile, no success could be seen at Coloni's plant in Perugia where obviously nobody worked seriously on a new car. In May, Enzo Coloni was sacked by Subaru, but no improvement came. In June, the Japanese company withdrew completely and sold the team back to Enzo Coloni, debt free, but with no sponsors and no engines. By the German Grand Prix Coloni had arranged a supply of Cosworth engines, prepared by Langford & Peck. The German Grand Prix ( Großer Preis von Deutschland) is an annual automobile race Cosworth is an Automotive engineering company founded in London in 1958 specialising in engines for automobile racing (motorsport An improved car also appeared in Germany. The "new" Coloni C3C was simply a 1989 C3 with minor changes in aerodynamics. The car was quicker, but not enough to achieve any serious results. Gachot was usually able to prequalify his car, but the "main" qualification was still out of reach. By the end of the season, Coloni had not taken part in a single Grand Prix.

Coloni-Ford (1991)

For the 1991 season the team consisted of only six people. The car was another version of the C3 from 1989 which had seen some detail work from students of the University of Perugia and which was now called a C4. University of Perugia ( Italian Università degli Studi di Perugia) is a public-owned university based in Perugia, Italy. Enzo Coloni had hoped for Andrea de Cesaris as his first driver, with his sponsorship from Marlboro. Andrea de Cesaris (born May 31 1959) is an Italian former race car driver Marlboro is a brand of Cigarette made by Philip Morris USA (a branch of Altria) within the US and by Philip Morris International (now separate The Roman eventually took his experience and his money to Jordan Grand Prix. Early history Jordan's success in lower formulae inspired the creation of a Formula One programme for the 1991 season. Coloni handed his single car to newcomer Pedro Matos Chaves from Portugal who had just won the British Formula 3000 series in 1990. Pedro Matos Chaves, pron 'peðɾu 'matuʃ 'ʃavɨʃ (born in Oporto, February 27, 1965) is a Portuguese Racing driver The car was out of date, fragile and hard to handle, and Chaves did not know most of the tracks. As a result, Chaves never escaped prequalification. At Chaves' home Grand Prix, Coloni had only one engine that blew up before the prequalifying session had even started so Chaves did not participate at all. Finally he quit the team. For the following race, Coloni was unable to find a new driver, but for the last two races of the season, he employed Naoki Hattori: a Japanese driver with a very decent record in other formulae but with no experience in Formula One. is a motoring journalist and Racing driver from Japan. After being Japanese Formula 3 champion in 1990 he failed to pre-qualify for two Formula One grands The results did not improve.

By that time, Coloni had sold his team to Andrea Sassetti, who renamed it Andrea Moda Formula for 1992. Andrea Sassetti is a wealthy flamboyant playboy shoe designer owner of the Italian fashion company Andrea Moda. Andrea Moda Formula was a Formula One team created by Andrea Sassetti, a shoe manufacturer from Italy.
