History[edit]
Originally known asEuromotorsport,the team made its CART debut in 1989 withJean-Pierre Freyat Phoenix.[2]After Frey was unable to complete the USAC Rookie Orientation Program at Indianapolis, the team signedDavy Jones,who qualified for the Indianapolis 500 and finished in 7th place in his only appearance for the team that year.[3]
The team went on to compete in theCARTIndy Car World Series, often fielding a number of Europeanpay drivers,from 1989 to 1994. The team's best finish was 4th place in the 1993Detroit Grand PrixbyAndrea Montermini.The team attempted to qualify its drivers for theIndianapolis 500a number of times, but only succeeded three times, withDavy Jonesin 1989 and 1993 andMike Groffin 1992.
The team planned to enterJuri Nurminenin the 1995 CART season,[4]but they did not appear at any of the races. By this time, the team was also racing in theIMSA seriesand at the24 Hours of Le Mans,racing a Ferrari 333SP. During 1996, the team raced anOsellasports car in IMSA and entered the1996 Indianapolis 500as Osella USA, namingRuss Wicksas driver. However, they did not appear at the event due to a lack of sponsorship.[5]
The team changed its name to EuroInternational in1997and moved to theIRLIndyCar Seriesand fielded a car in two races forBilly Roe,including the1997 Indianapolis 500.
EuroInternational was away from racing for a few years before resurfacing inFormula RenaultandFormula BMWUSA. The team was rumored to return to Champ Car in 2006[6]but the team never came to fruition. In 2007, the team announced that it had purchased the assets of Alan Sciuto Racing and was preparing to compete in the 2008Champ Car Atlantic Serieswith Italian driverEdoardo Piscopo.[7]As the season began, the team fielded a pair of cars forDaniel Moradand Luis Schiavo rather than one for Piscopo.
