The Dallara BMS192 is a Formula 1 vehicle from the Italian racing car manufacturer Dallara , which the Brixia Motor Sport Scuderia Italia team fielded in the 1992 Formula 1 season . It was the last of a total of five Formula 1 cars that the racing team from Brescia had Dallara developed. The BMS192 was driven by JJ Lehto and Pierluigi Martini . Martini reached two world championship points with him. In the world championship of manufacturers, BMS Scuderia Italia took tenth place with the car. The team had hoped for fifth or sixth place before the start of the season.

construction

The Dallara BMS192 was a further development of the Dallara BMS191 . The engine partnership with Ferrari was new , through which BMS Scuderia Italia got access to a V12 engine (version M5) in 1992. It was derived from Minardi's engine from the previous year and developed around 520 kW (~ 710 hp). The agreement with Ferrari was valid for the 1992 and 1993 Formula 1 seasons with an extension option for 1994 . Designer Giampaolo Dallara did not develop a revolutionary car. Although the Ferrari V12 engine was longer than the Judd -V10 used previously , Dallara hardly had to change the car's wheelbase. This was made possible by modifications to the chassis and transmission. From the outside, the BM192 differed little from the BM191 , although hardly any identical components were used. The biggest difference was in the aerodynamics. In particular, a higher vehicle nose was constructed as well as modified side boxes.

A transverse six-speed gearbox from Dallara served as power transmission, and a semi-automatic gearbox was also worked on at the beginning of the season. In addition, the car had a three-plate clutch from AP, the discs of which were reinforced with carbon fibers. The brake system was obtained from Brembo , the ceramic brake discs from Carbone Industrie. A rack and pinion steering from Dallara served as the steering gear . The double wishbone front suspension worked with internal mono-dampers that were actuated via push rods and arranged lengthways on the monocoque. Two internal, horizontally arranged dampers from Koni were also installed at the rear .

The tire supplier for the team was Goodyear . The main sponsors were Marlboro and Lucchini Engineering , in addition to the team's outfitters, Omega SA and Pioneer also advertised on the vehicles.

The car was presented in the winter sports resort of Madonna di Campiglio . Team boss Giuseppe Lucchini dampened expectations with regard to the powerful V12 in the run-up to the season. The team's budget for 1992 was given as 28 million  Swiss francs .

driver

JJ Lehto and Pierluigi Martini were signed as drivers.

Season course

The ambitious goals because of the Ferrari engine were not achieved. There were a total of twelve failures, common reasons for failure were engine, gearbox and clutch problems. A low point was the Hungarian Grand Prix , where Lehto was unable to qualify. In the course of the season, the Dallara mostly drove in the front midfield. Both vehicles reached the destination together five times; four times in a row from the Grand Prix of Canada to the Grand Prix of Germany . Thus, the second third of the season was the most successful time for the BMS192. The best placing of a BMS192 in the qualification was a seventh place. The only point wins with a sixth place for Martini come in Spain and San Marino .

successor

At the end of the 1992 season, the connection between BMS and Dallara , which had existed since 1988 , ended . The successor model for the coming season was designed by Lola Cars in Great Britain . The Lola T93 / 30 of the 1993 season had except for the Ferrari engine nothing in common with the BMS192.
