The DB F3 was certainly individually styled.

DB

Charles Deutsch-René Bonnet first worked together in 1939 building various Citroën based cars for smaller French races. Following the war it was 1954 before they worked together again producing a number of sports cars and single-seaters again based on Citroën running gear. The Panhard-engined DBs made their mark at Le Mans winning the Index of Performance in 1954-55-56-59-60-61 as well as taking class victories at Sebring and the Mille Miglia. In 1955 DB entered F1 with a supercharged 750cc engine fitted in a very light chassis, two cars were entered in the Pau GP but were completely outclassed.
In the early 1950s DB built a 500cc F3 car using a Panhard engine and gearbox which drove the front wheels. Front suspension was via Panhard dual transverse springs whilst at the rear two telescopic dampers acting on a solid axle. Occasionally the cars were competitive but the advent of Coopers and similar more advanced machinery soon saw the demise of the DBs. When F Junior began in 1959 the F3 cars were wheeled out again and for the first year they were reasonably competitive in French races but then history repeated itself and the Coopers and Lotuses saw the DBs vanish very quickly.
April 1964 saw the entry of a DB-Panhard at Pau, fortunately for all concerned it did not arrive.

Dallara

Gian Paolo Dallara left the Milan Polytechnic in 1959 with an aeronautical engineering degree and went to work for Ferrari, during the next few years he also worked at Maserati and Lamborghini, at the latter he was responsible for the Miura. By the end of the sixties Dallara was working for De Tomaso on their short lived F1 and F2 projects and he also worked on the ISO-Marlboro F1 car run by Frank Williams. In 1975 Dallara decided it was time he set up his own company in his home town of Varano Melegari and he began by producing a sportscar, the X1-9, he then moved into competition work by developing racing versions of the Lancia Stratos and Beta Monte Carlo. The first Dallara F3 car was actually the Wolf car built for Walter Wolf racing in 1978 which as the renamed Emiliani won the 1980 Italian F3 Championship. The first true Dallara was produced in 1981 and within a dozen years Dallara had seen of all-comers including Ralt and Reynard. Their dominance has continued since then and despite the occasional competition from companies like TOM’s and Martini they seem immovable. In the late 1980’s Dallara returned to F1 when they built cars for Scuderia Italia, despite often impressing the cars lacked sufficient financial backing to ever be really successful. In 1999 Dallara were commissioned by Honda to build a F1 car for a projected return to F1 but in the end Honda decided to remain as engine suppliers only. Dallara has also continued to work with sportscars and hand a hand in the Le Mans Toyota GT-One and the 24 Hour winning Audi R8. Currently in addition to F3 cars Dallara are building cars for IRL and Infiniti Pro racing in the US and Formula Nissan in Europe.

1981

Following on from the Wolf F3 car (q.v. and see above), the first F3 car to bear the name Dallara was the 381. Perhaps not surprisingly the design was quite conventional with an aluminium monocoque and a standard suspension. The cars were rarely seen outside Italy were they gained a reputation for being very quick in a straight line. The works team were hampered by getting involved with the Pirelli tyre programme which slowed chassis development. At the end of the season Roberto Ravaglia took fifth in the Italian Championship.

1982

The 382 was a lightly revised version of the 381, there were changes to the suspension geometry to suit Pirelli tyres, the sidepods were reprofiled and the engine bay was strengthened. During the season the full-width nose was abandoned for one reminiscent of the Ralt RT3 and the car was renamed the 382B. The 382 continued to show well in Italy where Cazzaniga scored Dallara’s first F3 win at Varano but it continued to suffer on its European outings where, despite all the testing, it just wouldn’t handle properly on the Pirelli’s

1983

1983 saw further minor revisions for the 383 and the car raced almost exclusively in Italy, Livio took another win for Dallara at Varano in a 382-Alfa Romeo and finished second in the Italian Championship (although he switched a Ralt RT3 for the latter part of the year). Franco Forini steered his 383-Toyota to victory at Monza and took third in the Championship.

1984

It was very little change again for the 384 and results were once again less than earth shattering. Franco Forini won one race in the Italian Championship with his works 382 and there were a couple of top six finishes, again for Forini, in the European Championship.

1985

As with the other F3 manufacturers 1985 meant the introduction of a new car as the flat bottom regulations came into effect. The F385 was Dallara’s first composite offering as the opportunity was taken to construct the new tub from carbon fibre. Suspension was via double wishbones with the springs and dampers pullrod operated. The sidepods were shallower than before with flat undersides and curved top sections, a feature that would become a Dallara trademark until the introduction of the F392. The F385 would be the model that really put Dallara on the F3 map. Although still restricting their appearances to the Italian Championship Dallara won eleven out of fifteen events with Franco Forini, Alex Caffi and Fabrizio Barbazza finishing 1-2-3 in the final table although Caffi scored most of his points with a Martini. Caffi also won the European Cup, a one-off race that had replaced the old European Championship.

1986

Despite the success of the F385 an entirely new model was offered for 1986, there was a new tub in carbon fibre/kevlar and aluminium honeycomb with general revisions to the rest of the design. The pullrod suspension and unusual sidepod shape were retained, the oil cooler sat in the left-hand pod with the water radiator in the right. Due to the lack of depth of the pods the water radiator was set at an almost horizontal angle. In Italy the F386 swept the board, Nicola Larini won the title and Dallara finished 1-2-3 in the championship with all but three of the qualifying rounds falling to the cars. Following on from the success of the F385 for the first time a number of F386s appeared in other National Championships, Jean Alesi finished second in the French series whilst in Germany Hanspeter Kaufmann and Victor Rosso took second and third. Finally Gregor Foitek won the lesser Swiss Championship in his F386

1987

The F387 was largely the F386 with a years development behind it and following on from the successes of the F386 even more cars were sold to teams in France and Germany in addition to the plethora to be found in Italy. Surprisingly none of the UK based teams seemed to be prepared to take a chance on developing one to race on the UK spec Avon radials. Once again Italy saw a 1-2-3 finish for Dallara with Enrico Bertaggia securing the top spot, the F387 winning nine out of the eleven races. In France Jean Alesi took the championship, he began the year in a works Martini but was unhappy with it. A one-off race in his old F386 that saw him win convinced him that a Dallara was needed and after a brief return to Martini Alesi bought a F387 and proceeded to win six races and secure the French crown. In Germany it was all about Bernd Schneider and the Horst Schubel run F387. Of the nine race German Championship Schneider took part in eight races and won seven of them easily winning the title.

1988

The F388 continued the evolutionary process of the F387. The most obvious changes were an increase in length, a reduction in weight and the adoption of a Dallara designed gearbox casing that still used Hewland internals. As usual in Italy it was nearly all Dallara, Emanuele Naspetti took the championship with the F388 taking first and second as well as eight of the top ten positions. France was a similar story, Eric Comas finished on top and the F388 took the top five places. Surprisingly, in view of the past two seasons results, the F388 did not feature in Germany with a best of sixth in the final placings.

1989

Once again the F389 wasn’t much different from the previous year’s model but it had a reputation for being tricky to get the best out of it. As usual in Italy it was a popular choice and the F389 took eight out of the top eleven places although Reynard proved stiff competition with their 893 taking second and fourth behind Champion Gianni Morbidelli. In France it was second and third for the chassis behind the runaway winner, Jean-Marc Gounon’s Reynard. In Germany it was Ralt and Reynard taking the honours with the F389 unable to do better than fifth after front runner Heinz-Harald Frentzen switched to a Reynard. As in previous year’s the UK was a Dallara-free zone.

1990

Once again changes to the F390 were small, mechanically pullrods were still used all-round and the aerodynamic package was largely unchanged. Although the F390 had its successes it was mostly second best to the Reynard 903 and, later in the year, the Ralt RT34. The Dallara as usual did not appear in the UK and it largely vanished from the German Championship. In Italy it was a 2-3-4 finish behind the winning Reynard of Roberto Colciago, coincidentally it was a similar story in France, 2-3-4 behind champion Eric Helary who started in a Reynard 903 and then switched to a Ralt RT34. A lot of the F390’s success seemed to come from the relatively large number of teams running it.

1991

Most obvious change to the F391 was the change to a pushrod operated front suspension to replace the pullrods that had been favoured for many years, pullrods were still used at the rear. As ever numerous Dallaras raced in the Italian Championship and Giambattista Busi won two races and finished third five times to take the title, 10 of the 12 races in the series fell to the F391. In France Olivier Panis swapped his Dallara for a Ralt early on but Frank Lagorce stayed loyal and took a brace of wins to take fourth spot. Otherwise results were generally disappointing Wolfgang Kaufmann won twice in Germany but an accident curtailed his season and as was the norm no Dallaras appeared in the UK.

1992

Very little mechanical changes were made to the F392 compared to the previous year’s model but there were several aerodynamic changes, most visibly to the nose which whilst it might have been efficient certainly wasn’t attractive. As usual the Italian scene was almost all Dallara and it showed with all 12 races going to the F392 and all the top 10 finishers used the F392 (Fisichella started with a Ralt but switched to a Dallara early on). It was a similar story in France with Franck Lagorce and Emmanuel Clérico finishing first and second in their F392s. Seven of the eleven races in the championship fell to Dallara. In both Japan and Germany Ralts and Reynards were the chassis of choice and although the Dallaras showed reasonable form the numerical superiority of the other manufacturers gave them the advantage. In Germany the F392 finished second on four occasions and Phillip Peter took fifth in the championship whilst in Japan a ninth for Visco in the final table was the best the F392 could manage. For the last year there were no Dallaras in the UK championship, things were about to change.

1993

1993 was the year that Formula 3 became Formula Dallara as it swept the board in all the major championships bar Japan. The F393 spent a claimed 1200 hour in the wind tunnel and an estimated 15% increase in aerodynamic efficiency was the result. Mechanically it was similar to the F392 except that a monoshock front suspension was introduced. It seemed that compared with its main rivals, Reynard, Ralt and TOM’S the F393 did almost everything a bit better, it was quicker in a straight line, it used its tyres more effectively and its mid-corner speed gave it a faster exit speed. Additionally its characteristics suited the new breed of engines from Vauxhall and Mugen with their ignition-advance systems allowing for a brief power boost to be held longer than the rival chassis’. Not unexpectedly the F393 was totally dominant in Italy with Christian Pescatori heading the next 14 drivers home, all F393 mounted. France was a similar story with the top 8 drivers, headed by Didier Cottaz favouring Dallara, Christophe Tinseau started with a Bowman but switched to a Dallara half way through the year. Every race in the 10-round series fell to the F393. For the first time Dallara became the chassis of choice in Germany, the top 9 drivers including champion Jos Verstappen ran the F393 and all 20 events saw the Dallara win. Japan was all about the TOM’S 033F and Tom Kristensen but the Dallara of Anthony Reid took 3 wins after a switch from the midfield Knap JK26 following three disappointing races. Finally the UK which had been a Dallara-free zone up until now. The early season was dominated by the Reynard 393 winning the first five races, but suddenly Warren Hughes began to show real form in his F393 and suddenly rival teams were switching to Dallara and by the end of the season there was hardly a Reynard or Ralt to be seen as the F393 won the next ten races in a row. Game, set and match to Dallara.

1994

For 1994 the F394 was very much more of the same, after all why change a winning formula. Further attention was paid to the aerodynamics with a tidying up of the suspension and the addition of an anhedral nosecone. With the notable exception of Japan where the best the F394 could finish in the championship was third and fourth behind the TOM’S 034F it was otherwise a Dallara walkover. In the UK every point scoring position in all 18 rounds was taken by a Dallara. Jan Magnusson totally dominating the championship with an incredible 14 wins from the 18 races. In France, where all chassis had to be a year old to save costs, of the 11 rounds the F393 took all top 6 positions except for a solitary fifth for an Elise at Val de Vienne. The championship went to Jean-Philippe Belloc. In Germany the F394 (or occasional F393) took every top 6 position in all 19 rounds, overall winner was Jörg Müller. Italy saw 20 rounds and every top six place fall to either the F394, the hybrid F393/4 or the F393, the dominant champion was Giancarlo Fisichella.

1995

Following the FIA regulations the F395 was an update of the previous years chassis and it was a year of complete domination that no other chassis manufacturer had ever achieved before. The facts are almost unbelievable, of the major Championships, UK, Germany, France, Italy and Japan combining both the main class and where a B class for year old cars was run, out of a total of 140 point scoring drivers 137 were in a Dallara. It seemed impossible but all the manufacturers that had dominated over the previous few years, Ralt and Reynard had given up and Martini and TOM’S were reduced to desperate, ultimately doomed, attempts to play catch up. Formula Three was now Formula Dallara.

1996

This would be the last year of the 24mm restrictor in the airbox and therefore the new F396 was very much an evolution of the F395, in fact many teams, especially in the UK, favoured retaining their F395 and updating it to F396 spec. Opposition to Dallara was minimal, TOMS with the 036F, Martini’s MK73 and the Elise 396. Tom Coronel managed to finish 3rd in the Japanese Championship with his TOMS taking a single win but otherwise it was the expected Dallara domination. In the UK the F396 won every race and took the top nine positions in the championship. It was a similar story in Germany with the first ten championship places being taken by the F396. Not unexpectedly every point scorer in Italy was Dallara mounted and it was a first to eighteenth clean-sweep. Most of the lesser Championships also fell to Dallara with the Sudam, Swiss, Austrian, Greek and Central European all being taken by cars of various vintages.

1997

The newly introduced larger air restrictor gave an estimated 30 BHP increase in engine power and as a result Dallara introduced a number of changes to the chassis for its 1997 challenger. Although the F397 looked very much like its predecessor the aluminium honeycomb tub was considerably stiffened to cope with the extra engine power whilst the front of the cockpit was lowered by 2 cm to both give the driver a better view and also for the aerodynamic benefit. The water radiators were also improved to give more cooling resulting in taller sidepods. The wheelbase and track were as before. Dallara estimated a 15% increase in the available downforce and the 1997 price was around £45,000 (66,200€). Every major championship and just about every minor one fell to the F397 or one of its earlier brothers although the new Martini MK73 took 4th in both the French and German Championships to add a little variety to the proceedings.

1998

1998 was, in line with FIA regulations, an update year and generally changes to the F398 were aerodynamic ones. The most obvious alterations, following F1 trends, were to the nose which now featured a pylon mounting and the introduction of winglets in front of the rear wheels. Other features were very much as before, suspension was push-rod front and rear, the tub was still constructed from Carbon-Kevlar composites with Nomex and aluminium panels. The gearbox was a five-speed Dallara design using a Hewland differential. A 40-litre fuel tank was fitted, and the car (with driver) weighed 530kg, whilst the wheelbase was 2610mm. The price rose to £50000 (73,600€), an update kit was £4,350 (6,400€). The F398 (or the F397/8 update) continued the almost total Dallara domination, winning every championship it was eligible for. As in 1997 the Martini MK73 continued it’s David and Goliath feat by taking several good results in both France and Germany with Franck Montagny finishing second in the French series and Wolf Henzler third in the German.

1999

No doubt spurred on by the continued good form shown by the Martini MK73 a number of modifications were introduced on the F399 in an effort to keep the Dallara dominance for another year. Changes included reducing the wheelbase noticeably, redesigning the suspension and increasing the size of the cockpit opening. Once again the Dallara ruled the roost with one notable exception, for the first time since 1986, Martini took the honours in France with their new MK79 driven by Sébastien Bourdais. However everywhere else, Britain, Germany, Italy and Japan. Dallara F399s took the top 10 places in every championship. Older versions also took all the minor championships around the world.

2000

Following the FIA stability rules the F300 was an update of the F399 with no major changes to the design. An update kit was offered to those teams who did not wish to purchase a new car. Many teams, especially in the UK began the year with a F399 but switched to a new chassis during the course of the year. The only challenger to Dallara’s dominance over the last couple of seasons had been Martini but the new MK80 was a disaster and Dallara had a virtual clean sweep. Of all the major and in most of the minor championships the top 12 cars were Dallaras. The only exception was France were they only managed the top six runners with a year-old Martini taking seventh. Ralt did take the US Championship but since this was so poorly supported with only 5 or 6 cars racing it signified little.

Dagrada

Angelo Dagrada built a number of F Junior cars in Milan during the early days of the formula, they had a very short wheelbase and were powered by a front mounted Lancia Appia V4 engine supplied by twin Weber 38 DCOs requiring a large bulge in the bodywork on the right. At the front independent links and coil springs were used with transverse leaf springs at the rear. Initially they were reasonably successful with several drivers, notably Giancarlo Baghetti who one a race at Monza, but the advent of the rear-engined British invasion saw their decline by the end of 1960.
Not unsurprisingly a Dagrada-Lancia entered at Monza in May 1964 failed to prequalify.

DAF

The first DAFs were sold in 1959, with a 600cc air-cooled twin cylinder engine. This same engine remained in production in an enlarged 746cc guise until 1975 in the 33. Over the years, other DAF models were launched – the 44 with 850cc engine; the 55 with 1100cc four-cylinder Renault engine and the 66 with 1100/1300 Renault engines. Famed for their Variomatic transmission which was the brain child of Dr. Hub van Doorne (van Doorne’s Automobiel Fabrieken = DAF) and was infinitely variable in its ratios so that there were no noticeable gear changes. The pulleys in the transmission expanded and contracted, depending on speed, road conditions and driver’s demand automatically. Final drive to the rear wheels was transmitted by rubber-composite drive belts. In 1975 DAF was taken over by Volvo.

1965

To prove the worth of their system DAF went F3 racing, they started by fitting the system to an Alexis Mk5 chassis for testing and then racing. Initially there were problems in that belts that had been designed for road use weren’t suitable for competition stresses and strains but this problem was gradually overcome. Despite the Alexis chassis not being state of the art there was enough promise shown to consider the project worth further development

The Alexis-DAF on the left at Monaco, judging by the size of the radiator cooling was a problem.

1966

For 1966 a Brabham BT18 was purchased and adapted to try the transmission in a known competitive car. Results were promising with a number of top six finishes, Mike Beckwith took the best result, a third at Zolder.

daf5

1967

For 1967 the Chequered Flag team built a DAF chassis that was designed by Chas Beattie along similar lines to a Brabham. The car showed flashes of promise but all the cars fitted with the Variomatic transmissions suffered from the belt system absorbing more power than a standard gearbox and in the days of the 1-litre engine the loss of even a few bhp was critical. In wet conditions, where the smooth power delivery was beneficial and wheel spin was minimised, the cars were often very competitive. The highlight of the year was an end of season victory for Mike Beckwith at Brands Hatch where he beat a top-class field. Gijs van Lennep also took a win at Skarpnack in Sweden in front of a lesser field.

1968

For 1968, their final year in F3, a pair of Tecnos were suitably modified and raced. Several good results were obtained including a of seconds for Mike Beckwith at Zolder and Jarama. At the end of the year their point proven DAF left F3 racing.
