Formula 3000 was a type of formula racing, active from 1985 to 2004. Formula racing is a term that refers to various forms of open wheeled single seater motorsport. It was replaced by the GP2 Series in 2005. For the article about the Asian version of the GP2 series see GP2 Asia Series.
In 1985, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) created the Formula 3000 International Championship (initially entitled the European Formula 3000 Championship) to become the final preparatory step for drivers hoping to enter the Formula One championship. Year 1985 ( MCMLXXXV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link displays 1985 Gregorian calendar) Formula Two had become too expensive, and was dominated by works-run cars with factory engines; the hope was that Formula 3000 would offer quicker, cheaper, more open racing. Formula Two, abbreviated to F2, was a type of Formula racing.

Engines
Formula 3000 replaced Formula Two, and was so named because the engines used initially were 3. 0 L (183ci) Cosworth DFV engines made obsolete by Formula One's change in engine rules. Cosworth is an Automotive engineering company founded in London in 1958 specialising in engines for automobile racing (motorsport The DFV was an Engine produced by Cosworth originally for Formula One motor racing (It has been observed Bernie Ecclestone had purchased a job-lot of DFVs in 1984, with no obvious use for them at the time). Bernard Charles "Bernie" Ecclestone (born 28 October 1930 near Bungay Suffolk, England) is the president and CEO of
The rules permitted any 90-degree V8 engine, fitted with a rev-limiter to keep power output under control. As well as the Cosworth, a Honda engine based on an Indy V8 by John Judd also appeared; a rumoured Lamborghini V8 never raced. Judd is a name brand of engines produced by Engine Developments Ltd Automobili Lamborghini SpA, commonly referred to as Lamborghini, is an Italian manufacturer of Sports cars based in the small Italian Village In later years, a Mugen-Honda V8 became the thing to have, eclipsing the DFV; Cosworth responded with the brand new AC engine.

Chassis
01.jpg/200px-Fórmula_3000_(Fernado_Alonso)01.jpg)
The first chassis from March and Ralt were developments of their existing 1984 Formula Two designs, although Lola's entry was based on and looked very much like an IndyCar. March Engineering was a Formula One constructor and manufacturer of customer racing cars from Britain. RALT was a manufacturer of single-seater Racing cars founded by ex- Jack Brabham associate Ron Tauranac after he sold out his interest in Brabham Formula Two, abbreviated to F2, was a type of Formula racing. Lola Racing Cars (also Lola Cars International) is a Racing car Engineering company founded in 1961 by Eric Broadley and based in Huntingdon Champ Car, was the name for a class and specification of cars used in American Championship Car Racing for many decades primarily for use in the Indianapolis A few smaller teams tried obsolete three-litre Formula One cars (from Tyrrell, Williams, Minardi and RAM), with little success -- the Grand Prix and Indycar-derived entries were too unwieldy - their fuel tanks were about twice the size of those needed for F3000 races, and the weight distribution was not ideal. Lower Formulae (1958 - 1967 Tyrrell Racing first came into being in 1958 running Formula Three cars for Ken Tyrrell and local stars Not to be confused with Frank Williams Racing Cars, formed by Frank Williams 1967 Minardi was an Automobile racing team and constructor founded in 1979 by Giancarlo Minardi. The first few years of the championship saw March establishing a superiority over Ralt and Lola - there was little to choose between the chassis, but more Marches were sold and ended up in better hands. The form book was rewritten in 1988 with the entry of the ambitious Reynard marque with a brand new chassis; Reynard had won their first race in every formula they'd entered. Reynard Motorsport was at one time the world's largest racing car manufacturer This would continue in F3000. The next couple of years saw Lola improve slightly - their car was arguably marginally superior to the Reynard in 1990 - and March slip, but both were crushed by the Reynard teams and by the mid-90s, F3000 was a virtual Reynard monopoly, although Lola did eventually return with a promising car and the Japanese Footwork and Dome chassis were seen in Europe. Lola Racing Cars (also Lola Cars International) is a Racing car Engineering company founded in 1961 by Eric Broadley and based in Huntingdon literally "child's dream" is a Japanese based racing car constructor involved mainly in open wheel and Sports car racing. Dallara briefly tried the series before moving up to Formula One, and AGS moved up from Formula Two but never recaptured their occasional success. Dallara Automobili is an Italian Chassis manufacturer for various Motor racing series being most notable for its near- Monopoly in Formula 3 Automobiles Gonfaronnaises Sportives ("AGS" or Gonfaron Sports Cars) was a small French racecar constructor who competed in various racing categories At least one unraced F3000 chassis existed - the Wagner fitted with a straight-six short-stroke BMW. This was converted into a sports car, however.
Politics
The series was not without controversy. Definitive rules for the 1985 season did not appear until the championship was well under way. In 1987 questions were asked about the ability of some of the drivers, given the high number of accidents in the formula. In 1989 the eligibility of the new Reynard chassis was challenged - it was raced with a different (but safer and no faster) nose to the one that had been crash tested. Reynard Motorsport was at one time the world's largest racing car manufacturer This season also saw problems with driver changes - the cost of F3000 was escalating to the point that teams were finding it difficult to run drivers for a whole season. A badly-implemented "two driver changes per car per season" rule meant that some cars had to sit idle while drivers with budgets couldn't race them (rather than allowing two drivers to share a drive through the season on a race-by-race basis, teams could only change the driver of any entry twice in a year). In 1991 the performance of some Italian teams attracted attention - they had started using Agip's "jungle juice" Formula One fuel, worth an estimated 15 bhp -- giving their drivers a significant advantage. Agip (Azienda Generale Italiana Petroli established in 1926 is an Italian automotive Gasoline and Diesel retailer In the early years of the formula there was much concern about safety, with a high number of accidents resulting in injuries to drivers and, unfortunately, one fatality in the International Championship - Marco Campos in the very last round of the 1995 series. Marco Campos (born 24 February, 1976 in Curitiba, Brazil - died 15 October, 1995 in Paris, France
Races
Formula 3000 races during the "open chassis" era tended to be of about 100-120 miles in distance, held at major circuits, either headlining meetings or paired with other international events. The "jewel in the crown" of the F3000 season was traditionally the Pau Grand Prix street race, rivalled for a few years by the Birmingham round. The Grand Prix de Pau is an Auto race held annually in Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, southwestern France. The Birmingham SuperPrix was a Motor racing meeting held on a street circuit at the heart of Birmingham, England, from 1986 to 1990 Most major circuits in France, Italy, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom saw the series visit at least once.

Other F3000 series
A small British Formula 3000 series ran for several years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, usually using year-old cars. Founded in 1989 as the British Formula 3000 Championship, the series was renamed the British Formula Two Championship in 1992, but grids diminished quickly and it was ended after the 1994 season. It was restarted in 1996 and cancelled once more the following year, after one race had been held with only three cars. Two other attempts at restarting F3000 racing in the UK failed.
An Italian series evolved into a second-level one, Euro Formula 3000 (now Euroseries 3000), running the previous generation of spec Lolas. Euro Formula 3000 is a Motorsport single-seater series and a type of Formula racing. An Italian national series started in 2005 with the arrival of the GP2 Series, but has now been merged with Euroseries 3000, running both B02/50 and B99/50 cars. For the article about the Asian version of the GP2 series see GP2 Asia Series.
The American Racing Series, a predecessor of Indy Lights, ran with March F3000 chassis (called Wildcats) and Buick V6 engines, before turning to Lolas some years later. Firestone Indy Lights is a developmental racing series sanctioned by the Indy Racing League. Firestone Indy Lights is a developmental racing series sanctioned by the Indy Racing League.

Japan persisted with Formula Two rules for a couple of years after the demise of F2 in Europe, but then adopted basically F3000 rules in 1987. Unlike European F3000, the Japanese Championship featured a lot of competition between tyre companies, and tended to feature highly-paid drivers (both local and European) in cars tending to be more developed and tested than those in the European series. The Mugen engine dominated this series, and was also competitive in European F3000. Japanese F3000 was renamed Formula Nippon in 1996. Formula Nippon is a type of Formula racing and the top level of single-seater racing in Japan.
In Australia Formula 4000 continued to use old F3000 chassis (predominantly Reynard) until 2006, as had its predecessors Formula Brabham and Formula Holden. Formula Holden was an Australian Open wheel racing category History during its development as Formula Australia it was initially for chassis constructed
The spec-chassis years
In 1996, new rules introduced a single engine (a detuned Judd V8 engine, re-engineered by and badged as a Zytek) and chassis (Lola), to go along with tyre standardization (Avon) introduced in 1986. Year 1996 ( MCMXCVI) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full 1996 Gregorian calendar) Judd is a name brand of engines produced by Engine Developments Ltd Zytek Group Ltd is a British Automotive Engineering company founded in 1981 in Fradley, United Kingdom. Lola Racing Cars (also Lola Cars International) is a Racing car Engineering company founded in 1961 by Eric Broadley and based in Huntingdon Cooper Tire & Rubber Company is a United States based global company that specializes in the Design, Manufacture, Marketing and Sales The following year the calendar was combined with that of Formula One, so the series became support races for the Grand Prix. Several Grand Prix teams established formal links with F3000 teams to develop young drivers (and engineering talent); these relationships varied from formal "junior teams" (such as the one McLaren set up for Nick Heidfeld) to fairly distant relationships based mostly upon shared sponsors and the use of the 'parent' team's name. McLaren, founded in 1963 by New Zealander Bruce McLaren (1937&ndash1970 is a Formula One team based in Woking, Surrey, UK Nick Lars Heidfeld, frequently referred to as Quick Nick, (born May 10 1977 in Mönchengladbach, West Germany) is a German The series grew dramatically through the late nineties, reaching an entry of nearly 40 cars - although this in itself was problematic as it meant many drivers failed to qualify. In 2000, the series was restricted to 15 teams of two cars each. 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar.
However, by 2002 expenses were once more very high and the number of entries, and sponsors, rapidly dwindled. See also 2002 (disambiguation Year 2002 ( MMII) was a Common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. Formula 3000 was experiencing tough competition with cheaper formulae, such as European F3000 (using ex-FIA 1999 and 2002 Lola chassis), World Series by Nissan (also known as Formula Nissan) and Formula Renault V6 Eurocup, as well as the North American CART series.

The 2004 season was the last F3000 campaign, due in part to dwindling field sizes.
