A WHOLE SEASON OF NON QUALIFICATIONS! The Story of EuroBrun (1988-1990)

  • At the turn of the 90s, there seemed to be a massive run of have-a-go heroes from Italy that decided to enter the big bad world of Formula One, with none of them lasting longer than a few years. Money is usually the big factor, with none of them able to capitalise on a fluke result or one of the bigger teams coming in for an over-performing driver.
    Some of these teams were deluded to think they could get results on a budget not much higher than zero. Some of them had hearts in the right places and some tried to use past experience to get somewhere, which is what EuroBrun tried to do: the teaming up of a privateer sports car team and a open wheel ladder team.
    So what happened? Let's have a look.

    According to Moreno, by the end of 1990 the team were actively trying not to even prequalify just to save money and the only reason they didn't quit sooner was because the FIA would have fined them for not completing the season. By seasons end, Walter basically worked out that any fines would have been cheaper than taking the cars all the way to Japan and Australia and just said "sod it, I'm off down the pub"

    These stories about the backmarkers are as sad as they are fascinating. Especially the ones who went there and _tried_ to at least get into a race. It's hard to know whether to feel sorry for them or exasperated that they stayed too long.
    Unlike the bots, I genuinely appreciate your time and effort with regards to these videos. They usually take me back with good memories, although some are sad. Either way, the stories are there to be told, so thank you :)

    One thing I really feel that gets overlooked with these 'awful' F1 teams is that they were pretty much all front running, competent teams from lower formulas. The barrier has always been having the infrastructure and facilities to build a car from scratch as, even back to the 1970s, the front of the grid was mostly made up of legacy teams from the 1960s, and those 1960s legacy teams rolled on to the 2000s and to present in some form. If decent customer cars had been available in the 1980s these teams could have been near the front.
    It often wasn't chancers try to get in on a shoestring, it was people trying to break in to a tier of the sport where the goalposts were being moved closer and closer together. There is too much of a focus on hard results and too little on how hard it is to build an F1 car from scratch.

      AGS was pretty incredible - it was run out of Gas Station in rural France for most of it's early existence, and it's cars were quite solid for being run on a literal shoestring. I actually saw the 1988 JH23 being demonstrated in Person at Suzuka in 2018. Nice to see.

    I think the ER188 has some potential that was never realized. It was a solid machine early on, pace wise at least. Also, there were actually two machines on the grid with Euroracing roots in 1988, the ER188 and the Osella FA1L, which was derived the Euroracing designed, and very good, Alfa-Romeo 183T. It also used the Alfa V8 Turbo from that car, now badged as an Osella.
    Euroracing also had a penchant for cars with red coloured wheels. Red on the Eurobrun for most of 1988, Red Faces with Yellow Barrells on the Alfa 185T/184T in 1985.

Senna was the biggest proponent for Andretti in his brief time in F1 and tried his best to help Michael adjust to F1, but Michael didn't help himself commuting to test sessions and race weekends from Nazareth, PA outside of Philadelphia to Europe, but his shortest commute was to Montreal for the Canadian GP

    And even better than positive feedback is constructive feedback. Unfortunately I don't have any to give you at the moment. Your videos strike such a great balance between interesting, informative, entertaining, and succinct. Seriously, I don't think I've ever heard anyone sum up a motorsport topic better than you.

    Money was the biggest problem of all those teams.

What all of them didn't know, or didn't want to know, is that in F1 you had to keep spending massive amounts of money to further develop the cars during the season.

    12:00 that one actually looks the business. I know: book, cover, don’t judge. But it looks pretty. If you’re gonna pose, pose well. But, given the driver, it looks a bit scale 1:1.2. Still, pretty. I may just use it for a livery in gt7

    One of the big reason for the huge influx of small teams - and drivers - from Italy in the 1980s was that the country was engaging in some extreme economic acrobatics, which made it look like there was a big "boom". Reality was, in fact, that it was mostly based on repeated devaluations of the national currency; The country was basically living well above its means, quite literally "printing money" when it was needed - and inflation nearly reached 20% at some point; As a matter of fact, we're still feckin' paying the consequences of this today 🙄
    It's an oversimplification, but the byproduct of such economic "policy" was that there were quite a few companies and individuals which were momentarily awash with money, and they tried to use it either in an attempt to gain international visibility, or simply indulge some boyhood fantasy and Formula 1 was one of the preferred avenues; This was also the time period when Serie A attracted all of the biggest and highest paid foreign footballers in the world (Maradona, Platini, Gullit, Van Basten, Rummenigge...the list is endless).
    And then there was the "other" thing - it's always been speculation, nothing was ever confirmed, but an international organization such as Formula 1 was a very good tool to "magically" make some rather shady money...become squeaky clean overnight.
    Then it all dried up in the 1990s - the last of the "fake money playboys" being Andrea Sassetti and his infamous Andrea Moda in 1992; As a result, even seeing a single Italian driver on the grid has been a rarity in the last decade or so.

    One of the ridiculous things about motor racing is that you can buy your way into the competition. In relatively safer sports, like baseball and soccer, the richest guy in the world couldn't buy his son a starting position on any professional team, but in a sport like motor racing, where one driver's incompetence can lead to other drivers getting killed or seriously maimed, Daddy can buy his little prince or princess into a race by sponsoring or outright buying a team. Daddy (or an overambitious sponsor) can also get the chosen one killed by rushing him into a race before he gains the necessary experience (ie Riccardo Paletti). It's not as likely anymore to get a totally incompetent or inexperienced driver into a top level series like Formula One, but you still get drivers whose talent/experience deficit is great enough that they are a menace to other drivers who actually belong in the series. That you can do this in a sport where people get killed (motor racing) and not in sports where that happens once in 150 years (baseball) is fantastic.

    • @h3llr4iser1

      That is not true anymore - the age of "daddy's boy" has been over for a long time - and no, Lance Stroll doesn't qualify as such, he had the lower formulae results to back him up (just to immediately address what most kids reading this will be thinking about). He might not be Alonso-level, but the guy has a pole and podiums, that's not exactly Taki Inoue level results.
      You can definitely "buy" a spot to a point - but you still need to be qualified to be on the grid ; The system is points based and quite transparent: we can argue all day about HOW the points are distributed - Indycar experience being treated criminally bad, for example - but it is effective at keeping totally unsuitable people off of the grid.
      Also, let's not forget that some of the bigger teams also have had questionable policies about propelling their young drivers programme members into F1 way too early (keep an eye on Mercedes next, possibly trying to do it with Kimi Antonelli next season, depending on how his F2 campaign goes).

    • @RRaquello

      @@h3llr4iser1 I think that's pretty much true in Formula One, once they put in the stricter license restrictions. You can't be a complete dub and get into F1 on money alone. Unfortunately in the top American series like IndyCars & NASCAR, you can still buy your way in when you don't belong there. I'm not saying you can be completely hopeless, like still driving on the street with a learner's permit, but you can be considerably below what should be the minimum requirements to drive in a top series and buy your way in. This is even more true in lower series like ARCA. I don't know about the lower series in Europe.
      What's even worse, and this is particularly true in lower US series like ARCA and NASCAR trucks, the drivers who are there on Daddy's coin seem to be very spoiled and entitled and think the rules don't apply to them so they frequently display a type of recklessness and false courage that they certainly wouldn't have had in the days when racing was not as safe as it is nowadays. They think they can't get hurt and, generally speaking, they can't.

    Rush would’ve been an instructional movie then, the Hesketh going broke part. It just came out too late.
    F1: either you’re all in, or you’re soon out. Minardi understood that. They never accomplished much, but they were IN. Toyota wasn’t.
    Those posers with refurbished F3000 cars, I never understood them. Not even a glimpse of glamour, PR or limelight. Maybe they just needed some expenses to keep the IRS outside?
    But I still feel sorry for Andretti. They can’t get past the bodyguards at the door, for wearing the wrong brand of sneakers or something. The wrong reasons, anyway. I wonder what’d happen if Red Bull applied today, or Haas, Williams or Sauber. Lotus. McLaren started off as a privateer, although they’re a car manufacturer now. I don’t understand the criteria. Basically, no one is allowed in. Period. We’ll make up a reason if we have to.

    Not sure if it is already like this but what if they let teams use as much turbo boost as they want - no fuel flow restrictions but X kilos of fuel per race.
    I still think that's the way to shake up the grid. Sure the winners would possibly still be the same but we could get the eventual fluke pole or fluke amazing performance in the first third of the race (till it blows up or runs dry) pretty much like the 80s.
    Heck as far as I can remember that's how Senna was be able to make his name driving for Toleman - huge turbo boost in a crappy car that was known it wouldn't finish and just for show in the first few laps - and get that number of poles without as many wins in his early years with Lotus...
