===Formula Two (1980–1984)===
The team first competed under the Minardi name in the [[1980 European Formula Two season|1980 European Formula Two]] championship. Rather than using a customer chassis, the team commissioned a BMW-powered design from [[Giacomo Caliri]]'s FLY studios — previously responsible for the [[Fittipaldi Automotive]] team's F5A Formula One car.<ref>[https://8w.forix.com/fittipaldi.html A samba that never got into tune] 8W, October 2000; Retrieved 10 August 2006.</ref> The first Minardi's driver was [[Miguel Ángel Guerra]], who achieved 9th place in the standings with 10 points. In 1981, Caliri and Marmiroli designed the [[Minardi M281]] driven by [[Michele Alboreto]], [[Johnny Cecotto]], Miguel Ángel Guerra, Roberto Farneti and [[Enzo Coloni]]: Alboreto won the Misano race and finished 8th with 13 points, Cecotto gained 3 points and moved to [[March Engineering|March]] in summer. A Ferrari [[Ferrari Dino engine|Dino 206]] engine was used in 1981, but the team changed to a BMW four-cylinder unit in 1982.<ref name=AS82p5>{{cite magazine | magazine = [[Autosport]] | date = March 11, 1982 | title = Pit & Paddock | editor-first = Nigel | editor-last = Roebuck | editor-link = Nigel Roebuck | page = 5 | publisher = Haymarket Publishing | volume = 86 | issue = 10 }}</ref> The new design continued Minardi's naming logic and was called the [[Minardi M282]]. The drivers were [[Alessandro Nannini]] and [[Paolo Barilla]].<ref name=AS82p5/> Barilla didn't score any points, Nannini got 10th place with 8 points. The 1983 season saw several drivers racing with the [[Minardi M283]]: Alessandro Nannini (11 points), [[Pierluigi Martini]] (6 points), Paolo Barilla (0 points), Enzo Coloni (1 race), [[Emilio de Villota|Emilio De Villota]] (2 races), [[Oscar Larrauri]] (1 race) and [[Aldo Bertuzzi]] (1 race). The last season in Formula 2 was in 1984. Nannini (finished 10th with 9 points) was the first driver, the others were [[Roberto Del Castello]] (14th, 1 point), [[Fritz Glatz|Pierre Chauvet]] (1 race) and [[Lamberto Leoni]] (3 races).

The team's most notable result remains the 1981 win at the [[Misano Circuit|Misano]] round by Michele Alboreto.<ref name = "GrandPrix.com"/> Minardi left the lower division at the end of 1984, although in 1986 a modified version of their final Formula Two car, the M283, was entered without success in two rounds of the [[International Formula 3000|Formula 3000]] championship which had replaced Formula Two in 1985.<ref>{{cite book | last = Hodges | first = David | title = A–Z of Formula Racing Cars 1945–1990 | publisher = Bay View books | year = 1998 | page = [https://archive.org/details/azofformularacin0000hodg/page/194 194] | isbn = 1-901432-17-3 | url = https://archive.org/details/azofformularacin0000hodg/page/194 }}</ref>
