Competition history  Motor Sport

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

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.
