 For 1987 , Forti moved up to International Formula 3000 with less immediate success than experienced in Formula Three . The main reason for this was the chassis the team chose to compete with . Instead of using customer Lolas , Marches or Ralts , all of which were produced by established companies who had many years ' experience of designing and building such cars , Forti stuck with their Italian Formula Three chassis supplier Gian Paolo Dallara , who had just designed his company 's first F3000 machine . Forti was the first team to use this machine , which was dubbed the Dallara 3087 ( a chassis which later would make a single appearance in Formula One for the BMS Scuderia Italia team , as that team 's car was not ready for the first race of the 1988 season ) . This combination of an inexperienced team and an untested car did not score any points in its first F3000 year , nor did the team attend every race on the schedule . Forti used 1988 to gain valuable experience in F3000 , and this helped the team to perform better in following seasons , as did a change to more competitive Lola and then Reynard chassis .
