Development
Dallara was contracted by Beppe Lucchini to design a car for his new BMS Scuderia Italia racing team, which was to participate in the 1988 Formula One season. The F188, powered by a Cosworth DFZ V8 engine,[2] was designed by Giampaolo Dallara in conjunction with Sergio Rinland.[1] With the longest wheelbase of all the Formula One cars entered for 1988, the F188 was a well-regarded car given the resources available to Dallara. A total of three chassis were built during the year.[2]
Race history
Scuderia Italia ran a single entry through 1988 for Italian Alex Caffi. The F188 was not quite ready to start the season and a F3000 chassis, the Dallara 3087, was used for the opening race in Brazil.[2] Caffi debuted the F188 at San Marino where he qualified in 24th but retired from the race itself. He put in a creditable performance throughout the year and qualified for all but one race with the F188, with a best of 10th in Hungary. No points finishes were scored, but Caffi did manage a best placing of seventh, at the Portuguese Grand Prix.[1]
