Track Performance Engineer

The history of the Dallara Group began in 1972 when Eng. Giampaolo Dallara, after significant work experiences at Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, and De Tomaso, founded "Dallara Automobili da Competizione" in Varano de' Melegari, a small town near Parma.

Today, the Dallara Group consists of over 900 Dallara People and is one of the most important entities in the design, development, and production of high-performance racing cars. Dallara is the sole supplier for the IndyCar, IndyNXT, Formula 2, Formula 3, EuroFormula, Formula E, and Super Formula championships. Additionally, it develops and produces some of the cars competing in the WEC and IMSA championships and offers consultancy in other championships, including NASCAR.

Since the early 2000s, the Dallara Group has provided specialized consultancy and professional assistance to manufacturers and racing teams to develop both racing and road cars.

On November 16, 2016, the Dallara Stradale was unveiled, the first road car bearing the Dallara brand, embodying Engineer Dallara's dream and synthesizing nearly 50 years of innovation. Subsequently, the Dallara EXP, a track version of the Stradale, was developed, representing the essence of sporting spirit with extreme performance and FIA safety standards.

In recent years, the Dallara Group has also started collaborating on developing solutions for the aerospace sector.
