Toulo was the second highest quaifying Maserati of the 8 entered in the season starting {{F1 GP|1950|British}}, placed 8th on the grid, Bira 5th, both out pacing the factory cars but his race was cut short with a lap 36 retirement with engine trouble.

The next round that Enrico Plate took part in was the {{F1 GP|1950|Swiss}} and Toulo finished at his home race on the same lap as his teammate Bira and fellow Maserati entrant [[Felice Bonetto]] but sadly behind the two in sixth with Bira now on five points.

The team missed the [[1950 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian]] and {{F1 GP|1950|French}}'s but returned for the season ending {{F1 GP|1950|Italian}}. With the now ageing Maserati and an increase of entrees from {{Alfa Romeo-CON}} and {{Ferrari-CON}} points were going to be a long shot, but in a race of high attrition Toulo finished a creditable sixth for the second race in succession, all be it one place outside the points again.
