Fisichella Motor
Sport, also known as FMS International, is a racing team from Italy.
Formed in 2005, the team participated in the GP2 Series from 2006
onwards and Italian F3000. It is a joint venture by Fisichella Motor
Sport and Coloni Motorsport.
2005
Italian F3000 - during their first year of operation they won the
drivers and constructors championship with Luca Filippi.
2006
In 2006 they participated in the Italian F3000 and the GP2 Series.
In the GP2 Series, Giorgio Pantano finished a commendable 5th in the
final standings, with a win at Magny Cours and a double win at his home
race at Autodromo Nazionale Monza, on top of only competing in 8 of 11
rounds. He replaced the somewhat disappointing Luca Filippi, whose best
result was 5th with the team at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari.
Fillippi moved to BCN Competicion after the first 3 rounds, replacing
Timo Glock who in turn moved to iSport International. Turk Jason Tahinci
had a poor year, placing 11th as his best result at Monza.
2007
In the GP2 Series, after Giorgio Pantano placing 5th the previous year,
things looked on the up, especially with new signing Antonio Pizzonia
who had Formula One experience under his belt. However, he too was a
disappointment, scoring a solitary point at the Circuit de Monaco. He
was replaced by Adam Carroll for Round 4, and he proved to be a dark
horse, taking victories at his home race at Silverstone Circuit and
again at the Hungaroring. With another 3 podiums to follow, he ended up
7th in the overall standings. Once again, Jason Tahinci failed to make
an impression, who failed to ever make the top 10.
2008

season.
The original GP2 Series line-up for FMS was to consist of Spaniards Andy
Soucek & Adrian Valles, but after the first round at Circuit de
Catalunya both had been replaced. Due to a legal conflict, Roldan
Rodriguez replaced Soucek before the start of the first round, and
shortly after, Valles bowed out to join BCN Competicion making way for
Adam Carroll, who signed to drive the second car for Rounds 3 & 4 at
Istanbul Park and Circuit de Monaco respectively. He was not retained
thereafter, and was replaced by reiging British Formula 3 champion Marko
Asmer in time for round 4 at Magny Cours.
