'''Rial''' is a German alloy wheel manufacturer and former [[Formula 1]] racing team. Ex-[[ATS]] owner Günter Schmid purchased the company in 1987, with Rial racing being formed in late 1988 for an entry in the [[1989 Alternate Formula One season|1989 Formula One season]].

==History==
Rial made their [[Formula One]] debut in [[1989 Alternate Formula One season|1989]] with the lineup of [[Stefan Johansson]] and [[Christian Danner]]. Danner only managed to make the grid on one occasion in the first half of the season and was subsequently replaced by popular Italian driver [[Andrea de Cesaris]]. The team failed to score any points all season.

De Cesaris remained in [[1990 Alternate Formula One season|1990]] with the Italian being joined by Finnish youngster [[JJ Lehto]]. The pairing was much stronger and de Cesaris was able to score the team's first points with a fifth place finish in the [[Belgian Grand Prix]] - allowing the team to finish ninth in the Constructor's standings.

This uptick in performance saw them get a partial investment from [[Porsche]] - who saw the Fußgönheim outfit as the perfect base for a potential assault on the series. Despite the increased investment, Rial could not keep hold of Andrea de Cesaris who instead accepted a seat with [[Oreca]]. Rial's lineup would see Formula 3000 graduate [[Michael Bartels]] be joined by former [[Osella]] driver [[Nicola Larini]]. Bartels would partly share the drive with the team's reportedly preferred candidate [[Bernd Schneider]] - who was racing in the [[World Touring Car Masters]] with Vauxhall and race the Rial when his schedule allowed.
