The team was founded by the Italian businessman Guido Forti and Paolo Guerci in the 1970s and was based in Alessandria in northern Italy. Initially, it was run in lower categories such as Italian Formula Ford and Formula 3 both on Italian and European level. The team was well equipped and Forti Corse soon became a regular winner. Forti drivers Franco Forini (who later drove unsuccessfully an Osella Formula 1 car), Enrico Bertaggia (a later Coloni F1 man) and the Gianni Morbidelli were able to win the Italian F3 titles in the 1980s.

In 1987, Forti Corse moved up to Formula 3000 with less immediate success than experienced in F3. The main reason for the 1987 misfortunes was a bad decision about the car the team should use. Instead of using customer Lolas, Marchs or Ralts, Forti stuck together with Giampaolo Dallara who had just penned a brand-new Formula 3000 machine. Forti Corse was the first team to use this machine which was dubbed Dallara 3087 (and which later would make a single appearance in Formula 1 for the BMS-Dallara team as their own Formula 1 car was not ready for the first race of the 1988 season). A combination of an unexperienced team and an untested car was not a right basis for any success, and so it was no wonder that Forti did not score any points in its first F3000 year; the team did not even manage to attend every race. The team used the first year to learn a thing or two about life in F3000, and after some experience was gained, things went better in the following seasons (of course, a change to March chassis was helpful, too). In 1990, Gianni Morbidelli scored Forti´s first victory in a F3000 race, and although no Forti driver ever was able to win a championship title in this category, the team turned out to be a strong force in F3000. By 1994, no other team was as long in Formula 3000 as Forti Corse. 1987 (MCMLXXXVII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Naturally, as successes came, Guido Forti started thinking about another move upwards. Of course, there had been some discouraging examples of teams which headed from F3000 to Formula 1 and failed more or less immediately. Take a look at Coloni and Onyx, for instance, and you know everything. But on the other hand, Eddie Jordan had shown that the great step forward could be donce successfully. A solid financial preparation was the most important thing, that´s what Guido Forti was sure of. So, in 1991 he started working on his Formula 1 adventure. By 1993, he met Carlo Gancia, an Italo-Brazilian businessman who became a co-owner of the team and finally managed to ensure a respectable budget for Formula 1 in late 1994.

So it became clear that Forti Corse would be a part of Grand Prix racing in 1995. Financed by various Brazilian enterprises which were brought in by the family of the later Forti-Driver Pedro Diniz, nothing could go wrong. But of course, the team had to start with a self-penned car. This turned out to be the main obstacle for Guido Forti insisted on having a reliable car instead of a fast one. And in fact, that is what he received. His first Formula 1 car was an out-dated, overweight and unbelievably slow machine. The Forti FG 01 had many parents, and what is even worse, it had antique genes. Its roots dated back to 1991 when Brabham Designer Sergio Rinland worked out some plans for a future Brabham BT61. As we know, Brabham never had enough money to materialize this car never so for 1992 the team had to use an updated BT60 version before it closed its doors for good. Instead, Rinland realised his plans for the Italian Fondmetal team (the successor of Osella Squadra Corse): the new Fondmetal GR02 that saw the lights of day in the early summer 1992 incorporated most of Rinlands ideas originally dedicated to Brabham. Due to severe financial troubles, the GR02 was run only in a few races before this team was closed, too. When in late 1994, Rinland was commissioned by Forti to penn his new car, it was obvious that he re-materialized his old ideas. In fact, the 1995 Forti was nothing more than an updated 1992 Fondmetal wearing a 1992 Jordan front wing. The car had no sleek lines, a plump nose, a fat airbox, was overweight and under-powered, using a tiny Ford ED customer machine that seemed to be financed by Ford do Brazil.

Forti's first driver was the newcomer Pedro Paolo Diniz (which was logical considering the financial input by Diniz´s family and the sponsorship he brought). The other was the never-desperate Roberto Moreno who had raced his last Formula one race back in 1992 when he had a work-out in a shameful wreck known as the Andrea Moda S921.

For 1996, the team plumped for the respectable Andrea Montermini and veteran of BMS Scuderia Italia and Minardi Luca Badoer in an all Italian line-up. However, crucially Diniz's money was no longer there as he had gone to fill Martin Brundle's seat at Ligier, and the team struggled financially.

Badoer made a mark for all the wrong reasons in the Argentinian Grand Prix that year. He barrel rolled his car having hit, of all people, Diniz, and was forced to scrabble from the upturned car whilst the marshalls just watched

Despite the low budget however, the car was relatively good - and in truth if they had 1996's car with 1995's budget, they could have been a good middle-grid team.

The team were taken over by a group called Shannon in mid-1996. But when these backers failed to pay the bills, the team went under before completing the 1996 season.
