43-693: The Dallara SF19 is an open-wheel single-seater chassis produced by Dallara for use in the Japanese Super Formula championship. It debuted in 2019 , replacing the Dallara SF14 chassis. Throughout its production, it was the sole chassis used in Super Formula, however an engine development war between Honda and Toyota can lead to significant performance differences between the Honda and Toyota powered models. The single-seater
86-680: A consequence, the company secured other contracts and built chassis for Toyota ( GT-One ), Audi (various incarnations of the R8 ) and Chrysler (the Oreca -run Chrysler LMP). Later, the Chrysler LMP would become Dallara's customer car available to privateers, known as the Dallara SP1 , which has also served as a test mule for Nissan 's aborted return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans . All these cars were competitive in prototype sports car racing, with
129-422: A few teams entered a Panoz/G-Force chassis into the 2007 Indianapolis 500 singly. Some smaller teams continued to utilize the slightly older IR-03 designated chassis, particularly at Indianapolis, with update kits installed to bring it up to equally competitive ground with the newer-assembled IR-05 due to cheaper costs. Dan Wheldon famously won the 2011 Indy 500 driving a nine year old IR-03. IndyCar implemented
172-560: A general chassis and engine development freeze from the start of the 2009 season . The series began focusing on a new chassis/engine package to be rolled out for 2012. By this time, the Dallara IR-03/05 was exclusively paired with the Honda Indy V8 , as other engine manufactures had departed. Starting in 2012 , Dallara began providing the common monocoque and suspension parts for the new IndyCar formulae – known as
215-970: A handbike for Alex Zanardi for the Men's Para-cycling at the Paralympics , leading Zanardi to win 4 gold and 2 silver medals at the 2012 and 2016 Paralympics respectively. For the Rosetta probe, Dallara designed the drill that is part of the Philae robotic lander. Dallara has also partnered with Raytheon to provide the MALD for the United States Air Force.

258-738: A planned merger with the German Formula Three Championship fell through. Like most Formula Three championships, competitors in British F3 were permitted to use any eligible chassis, but in practice few competitors deviated from the Dallara after the Italian marque's arrival in 1993. Since then, TOM'S , Mygale and Lola have been among those to take on the might of the Italian marque, largely without success. Prior to Dallara's domination, Ralt and Reynard were
301-724: A single championship as the BARC and BRDC combined their series into the Vandervell British F3 Championship , which was later renamed for sponsorship reasons to the Marlboro British F3 Championship and then the Lucas British F3 Championship . In 1974, the engine capacity was raised to two litres, which remained the engine formula all the way until the championship's demise some 40 years later. In 1984,
344-670: A single national series had yet to be firmly established. The FIA reintroduced Formula Three in 1964 using a one-litre engine formula, and there were two F3 championships held in the UK that year. This was not the last occasion of two or more F3 championships running concurrently in the post-1964 era: from 1970 to 1973, there were three regional series (the Lombard North , John Player , and Forward Trust championships) and there were normally two series between then and 1978, with many drivers running in both. From 1979 onwards, there would be
387-429: A track record of 57 seconds, two seconds faster than the previous limit set by a LMP1 car . The first two cars produced were then shipped to Japan, for tests on Fuji Speedway . Nojiri, tests in at home, completed 129 laps, in two days, even if only on the second day he was able to fit dry tires after the rain of the first day. The time obtained, 1'26"173, is two seconds lower than the pole position of 2017, obtained from
430-658: Is not foreseen in the original project, but Dallara has studied the possibility of its presence. The Honda and Toyota engines are derived from the ones used in the Super GT series, and are 2.0-litres in displacement, with fuel limiter and push to pass system. Dallara Dallara Group S.r.l. is the largest multi-national Italian race car manufacturer, founded by its current President, Giampaolo Dallara . After working for Ferrari , Maserati , Lamborghini and De Tomaso , in 1972 in his native village of Varano de' Melegari ( Parma ), he created Dallara Automobili. Dallara
473-693: Is the sole manufacturer of racing cars for the IndyCar Series , Indy NXT , FIA Formula 2 , FIA Formula 3 and Super Formula Championships . The company also produces cars for endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Daytona . Dallara has also been involved in the development and production of both Formula E cars and Haas F1 Team cars. The company was founded by designer Giampaolo Dallara in 1972 in Varano de' Melegari , near Parma , Italy , and started building chassis for sports car racing and hillclimbing , racing in

#1732786597413516-682: The 1997 season . The first model year (1997) was named the IR-7. 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 were triangular and molded around the roll bar. The IR-8 (1998) and IR-9 (1999) were essentially 1997 model year chassis with various update kits. Jim Guthrie won Dallara's first Indy car race at Phoenix on 23 March 1997. Eddie Cheever won Dallara's first Indianapolis 500 in 1998 , in his Oldsmobile-powered IR-7 chassis. A new model chassis
559-671: The Audi R8 , in particular, becoming the most dominant chassis in modern times at the 24 Hours and the American Le Mans Series . In 2002, they built the GC21 for use in the Fuji Grand Champion Series ; the car was based on the company's F3 cars. In March 2008 the first Dallara Daytona Prototype appeared, built-in collaboration with Doran for Wayne Taylor 's SunTrust Racing team. In 2015, Dallara
602-642: The British Touring Car Championship , which attracted larger crowds than the British F3/GT meetings run by SRO. However, rising costs in the late 2000s as a result of the arrival of big-spending engine manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen and hosting rounds abroad, combined with the revival of an FIA-backed European Formula 3 Championship in 2012, starved the British series of grid numbers, which were down to
645-641: The Dallara SF19 . This update to the previous chassis (the Dallara SF14 ) followed the FIA's new safety guidelines and added the "halo." In the early 1980s, Dallara was responsible for the construction of the Lancia LC1 Group 6 prototype as well as the later LC2 Group C car, along with Lancia's partner Abarth . It would not be until 1993 that Dallara returned to endurance racing , although very few chassis would take their name. The first project
688-597: The Haas VF-16 was officially unveiled. This arrangement has continued since with Dallara designing all the Haas cars up to and including the 2023 season. Dallara debuted as a chassis builder and supplier at the IndyCar Series in 1997, and has been the single chassis builder and supplier since 2007. The manufacturer has won seventeen of the twenty Indianapolis 500s they have contested. In 2013, Dallara reached its milestone 200th Indy car victory at Barber . In 2012
731-628: The UK was the Autosport F3 championship held in 1951, which was won by Eric Brandon . By 1954, it had evolved into a national-level series and was organised by the British Racing and Sports Car Club (BRSCC). This was the 500cc period of Formula Three, which was active in the UK and other countries until 1959, at which point Formula Three was adapted into Formula Junior. In this period, there were often two or three series running concurrently and
774-536: 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. Dallara built the cars for Hispania 's entry in the 2010 season. The Hispania team's financial problems—which delayed payment of money owed to Dallara and
817-612: The German and French markets, winning the German title in 1987 and the French in 1987 and 1992. 1993 was the first year that Dallaras were entered in the British Formula Three Championship and was the beginning of the company's dominance of Formula Three. The new F393 featured major aerodynamic changes compared to its predecessor and introduced a monodamper front suspension layout. The F393 won every race in
860-579: The IR-03 and the IR-05 designations saw use through the end of the 2011 season. For the 2006 season , over 80% of the field began the season with a Dallara, a possible symptom of Panoz 's (manufacturer of the G-Force chassis) perceived lack of interest. This was around the time Panoz began delivering the DP01 chassis to the rival Champ Car series. From 2007 to 2011 all IndyCar teams used the IR-05 chassis, although
903-686: The IndyCar Safety Cell ;– with the intent that the bodywork and aero parts can and will be provided by other manufacturers. The cars will be branded by the make who provides the "Aero Kit." Dallara rolled out the chassis with its own optional spec aero kit. The aero kit concept was temporarily shelved due to cost concerns, making the Dallara kit the universal spec for 2012-2014. Unique aero kits (manufactured by Chevrolet and Honda, respectively) were introduced for 2015-2017, and Dallara ceased to support and production of their own. In 2018,

#1732786597413946-528: The Italian constructor and Beppe Lucchini'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 Constructors' Championship results were: no classification in 1988, 8th in 1989 (with 8 points), 15th (with no points) in 1990, 8th in 1991 (with 5 points) and 10th in 1992 (with 2 points) by Pierluigi Martini . Dallara returned briefly to F1 in 1999, building
989-693: The Italian, French and German championships that year, while the British series saw numerous entrants – including champion Kelvin Burt – forced to switch from Reynard or Ralt chassis to Dallara in order to remain competitive. TOMS would win the Japanese championship with its own cars in 1993 and 1994 before switching to Dallara chassis. From then on Dallara would dominate the Formula Three market, although Martini had some success in France and Germany in
1032-543: The SF14. During the tests carried out in August, Nojiri also tried a new display model, placed on the helmet visor. The car, compared to the SF14, is based on greater use downforce generated by the underfloor, shifting the balance from the wings to ground effect, in order to increase the chances of overtaking. The appearance is more similar to that of an F1 car, with a fin on the hood, and of the more pronounced sidepods. The Halo
1075-530: The car. Dallara has provided the spec chassis to the Indy NXT series, formerly the Indy Lights Series since 2002. For the 2015 Indy Lights season , the car was replaced by the new generation Dallara IL-15, powered by Mazda's 2.0-litre turbocharged MZR-R four-cylinder engine. Dallara also designed the chassis for the Japanese Super Formula series, formerly known as Formula Nippon , called
1118-774: The company opened an engineering center in Speedway, Indiana , at the Speed Zone Redevelopment Area near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway , where they produce and assemble the IndyCar . The same building also houses an entertainment center, where visitors can learn how a racing car is manufactured. Dallara was one of the original three chassis constructors when the Indy Racing League debuted its own chassis formula during
1161-625: The completion of the cars—and the alleged low quality of the F110 chassis resulted in the two parties officially ending their partnership in May 2010. The car was used in all 2010 races without any development except the graphics. They had only one aerodynamic configuration, used for all races, including Monte Carlo and Monza . Geoff Willis , who joined Hispania in March 2010, criticized the F110, saying that he
1204-585: The late 1990s, including Sébastien Bourdais winning the French title in 1999. Since then Dallara has won every major Formula Three title, although Ho-Pin Tung won the 2006 Recaro F3 Cup in a Lola against a field that included several current Dallaras. Dallaras have won the Macau Grand Prix since 1993. In 1988 the company became a Formula One constructor , after being hired by BMS Scuderia Italia to build their chassis. The relationship between
1247-499: The mid-teens by 2012. Facing a shortfall of entries in 2013, the calendar was cut from 10 to just four meetings in a bid to save the series. The following year saw the calendar back up to seven meetings, but grids remained small, with some races attracting as few as five cars. In October 2014, it was announced that the 2014 season would be the final season of the British Formula Three Championship after
1290-606: The new FIA Formula 3 Championship (formerly GP3 Series ), giving them a near-monopoly of every motorsport series used as a direct entry point into F1. In 2007 Dallara created a new car model, known as the Formulino ("little formula"), in order to fill the gap between karts and Formula Three. The first series to use the new concept was the ADAC Formel Masters in 2008 , and the MRF Challenge also adopted
1333-535: The pacesetting chassis, with March being the chassis of choice for much of the 1970s. Two engine manufacturers – AMG-Mercedes (tuned by H.W.A) and Volkswagen – were represented on a full-time basis at the time of the series' demise. The Mugen-Honda engine (tuned by Neil Brown Engineering) was the dominant powerplant of the 1990s and the early-to-mid 2000s, prior to the arrival of Mercedes in 2006, although other manufacturers, including Toyota , Vauxhall / Opel , Renault and Mitsubishi also enjoyed success in

1376-597: The series adopted a B class for competitors with older chassis, which helped grid sizes to grow rapidly in the 1980s, renamed in 2000 as the Scholarship class and later the National class. In 2004, the organisation of the series was taken over by SRO , which began to run the series alongside the British GT Championship . Five years later, the series declined an invitation to join the support bill of
1419-655: The smaller engine classes. Dallara designed his first Formula Three car for Walter Wolf Racing in 1978. Dallara also had a brief involvement in Formula 3000 in the mid-1980s. The first F3 car under the Dallara name came in 1981, and the cars became particularly successful in Italy. Since 1985 Dallara drivers have taken the Italian Formula Three Championship every year except 1990. The late 1980s and early 1990s also saw Dallara make inroads into
1462-408: The test-chassis for Honda 's planned but aborted return to the series. 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
1505-483: The third generation of aero kits was introduced for the DW-12, again returning to a universal spec kit for all entries known as UAK18 and will be used until 2026. On 18 October, Dallara confirmed that the 2012 series car would be named after the late IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon (DW-12) in honor of his work testing the car before his death two days prior at Las Vegas , with the new bumper/nerf bar section being featured, it

It was a junior-level feeder formula that used small single seater Formula Three chassis. Its final official title was the Cooper Tires British Formula 3 International Series . Notable former champions included Jackie Stewart , Emerson Fittipaldi , Nelson Piquet , Ayrton Senna , Mika Häkkinen , Rubens Barrichello , Takuma Sato , Daniel Ricciardo and Hélio Castroneves . The first Formula Three championship to take place in
1591-588: Was designed to prevent many similar single-seater crashes such as the one that killed Wheldon. In 2002, Dallara became the exclusive supplier for World Series by Nissan , a move that allowed them to gain the contract for the World Series by Renault in 2004. Dallara was also appointed by the FIA to be the sole chassis builder, partner and supplier of the FIA Formula 2 Championship (formerly GP2 Series ) and
1634-408: Was disappointed at the quality and level of engineering in the car and that the design of the car was missing a lot of contemplating practices commonly employed in the process of building a Formula One car. On 15 April 2014 Gene Haas confirmed his new Formula One team, Haas F1 Team , had entered talks to form a partnership with Dallara in 2015 for the build of their first car. On 21 February 2016,
1677-752: Was introduced for the 2000 season ; named the IR-00. When updated for 2001 the chassis was designated as the IR-01 and for 2002 it was referred to as the IR-02. For the 2003 season , Dallara rolled out the new IR-03 chassis. This chassis would later become the de facto " spec-car " in the series. An aerodynamic update kit was released for 2004 , which changed its designation to IR-04 and later in 2007 , which changed its designation to IR-05. In addition, paddle-shifters began seeing use in 2008, further developing and evolving this generation of Dallaras. Chassis bearing both

The first run of the car took place in June 2018, at the Autodromo Riccardo Paletti in Varano de' Melegari , with the Japanese driver Tomoki Nojiri at its head. The driver completed 71 laps and also achieved
1763-645: Was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 2008. Dallara also provided engineering services for Renault ( R.S. 01 ), Alfa Romeo ( 8C and 4C ), Bugatti ( Veyron and Chiron ), Maserati ( MC12 and MC20 ), and Lamborghini ( motorsport variants of the Huracán ) In 2017, Dallara showed its first road car, the Stradale , on the occasion of Giampaolo Dallara's 81st birthday. Dallara also produces handbikes, under Z-Bike. They also designed
