Still in 1987, Giancarlo Minardi, patron of the eponymous Formula 1 team, needed to mill the models/molds of his new single-seater.
He had created the CAD surfaces at his technical center in Faenza, but not yet having his own numerical control mill, he confidently turned to Stola in Turin.

Some of his visits to the laboratory in Via La Thuile 71 are fondly remembered.
The Minardi Engineer was very clear with Messrs. Stola that his company would also have a numerical control milling center in the future.
In 1987 and 1988, Alfredo Stola & son produced all the models and carbon molds for the M 188 and M 189 for the 1988 and 1989 championships.
