Forti opted at the start of the 1994 season that it would be the last for his team in the category, as he had engineered a move into Formula One organised by Carlo Gancia with the financial support of wealthy Brazilian driver Pedro Diniz.
As a result, a financial deal was struck with the Shannon Group, which announced that it now owned 51% of the team.
[3] However, as Forti's financial situation worsened further despite the deal, Guido took Shannon to court to try to get back the 51% of the team he had lost.
[4][5] After an initial loss to Shannon in a court case, Forti managed to regain control of his team, but at this stage the outfit had already missed several Grands Prix and did not return to the sport.
[6] Forti was last involved in motor racing in 2003, when he was employed by a Euro Formula 3000 team.
