The company founded by Gianpaolo Dallara built their first Formula 3 car named Wolf for Walter Wolf Racing in 1978 which as the renamed Emiliani won the 1980 Italian F3 Championship. The first true Dallara was produced in 1981. In 1985 Dallara designed the F385, their first F3 car with carbon fibre/kevlar and aluminium honeycomb chassis. The car evolved a little bit until 2000 with some updates and revisions each following year. The F398 car for the 1998 season was, in line with FIA regulations, an update of the 1997 car and generally changes to the F398 were aerodynamic ones. The most obvious alterations, following F1 trends, were to the nose which now featured a pylon mounting and the introduction of winglets in front of the rear wheels.
Peter Dumbreck after finishing third in British Formula 3 in 1997, took the 1998 Japanese Formula 3 title with a record-breaking eight wins out of ten races. The climax of Dumbreck’s 1998 season was victory at the Macau Grand Prix. In All-Japan series and in Macau Dumbreck drove the F398 – Toyota for TOM’s Racing.
