Alejandro De Tomaso, an Argentinian living in Modena, in 1959 founded the De Tomaso which made its debut in the World F1 championship in 1961 with this single seater car with an Alfa Romeo Giulietta engine up to 1500 cc, prepared by Conrero and driven by R. Bussinello, N. Vaccarella, R. Lippi and G. Scarlatti.
The car took part in the Gran Premio d’Italia in 1961 driven by Bussinello with the team Scuderia Isobele De Tomaso.
