In Monza, the team managed to qualify, as well as in Portugal a few weeks later, but it failed to see the chequered flag. The following year, AGS scored its first championship point when Roberto Moreno finished sixth in Australia. Two years later, Gabriele Tarquini came home sixth in Mexico. These were the only points AGS ever scored in Formula 1. Following financial problems, Julien sold his team in late 1988 to Cyril de Rouvre, a French businessman who ran the team for two more years. AGS closed in September 1991.
