The Dallara F190 is one of the Dallara entries the open record knows by name, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable. The shape is credited to Giampaolo Dallara (Technical Director) / Christian Vanderpleyn (Chief Designer).
The background
The Dallara F190 was a Formula One car designed by Giampaolo Dallara and Christian Vanderpleyn for use by the BMS Scuderia Italia team during the 1990 Formula One season. It was powered by the 3.5L Cosworth DFR engine. It failed to score any points for the team.
Where it sits
In the Dallara line-up the Dallara F190 has a clear place: it replaced the Dallara F189; it handed the line to the Dallara F191. Its Dallara stablemates include the Dallara 320 and the Dallara F191.
