About Euroseries 3000:
[spoiler]Euro Formula 3000 is a motorsport single-seater series and a type of formula racing.

The series started in 1999 as Italian Formula 3000, organised by Pierluigi Corbari and using old Lola chassis with Zytek engines. The teams used the Lola T96/50 in the first two years. At the beginning nearly all races were held in Italy, but very quickly the series was enlarged and had venues in different European countries.

It became European Formula 3000 in 2001, when the FIA-run Formula 3000 series became "International". The next three years (2001-2003) saw the Lola T99/50 in use. For 2004 Superfund became the series' title sponsor, planning to use a new car with a new set of regulations, named Formula Superfund, but the funding was pulled before the 2005 season got under way.

That year, the series reverted to an Italian national-level championship, now organised by Coloni Motorsport. In 2006 Coloni reestablished a new European championship named Euroseries 3000.

2005 also saw the establishment of a rival series, named 3000 Pro Series. Also based in Italy, it was organised by Peroni Promotion and used Lola B99/50 chassis alongside 2002 cars. MTC Organisation took over for 2006 and renamed it F3000 International Masters, running a support series to the WTCC. In 2007 this series changed regulations, with N. Technology now running technical operations for MTC Organisation, and it became the International Formula Master.

In 2007, the Italian Formula 3000 championship returned, named as the Campionato Italiano F.3000 which runs alongside Euroseries 3000.[/spoiler]

Moving the Donington date to August means it will support Superleague Formula, and no longer clash with WSbR at Silverstone I noticed the British Superkart championship is also at the meeting.

nice to see SF finaly has a decent suport race

I might gonna watch the F3000s at Zolder this year, together with the Dutch Power Pack
when I saw the 3000s at Spa a while back they where amasing to see and here, flying through eau rouge

Dutch Power Pack is not coming to Zolder this year
I think the ES 3000 will drive with the 24 hours of Zolder...

acording to the site of Zolder they are..
only without Masters of F3

Some guy from the track told me yesterday and its on http://www.autosport.nl/actueel/news.ph ... 6&rubriek= and http://www.racexpress.nl/index.php?nav= ... &nid=14644 now. They will have an extra event an Zandvoort.

that's a shame, I hope the F 3000 is still comming

TV coverage for F3000 series?

I doubt there will be one..
wich is a shame 'cause it's an interesting series

Tbh this is the only major(?) feeder series in Europe I have little interest in, although occasionally some good drivers come out of it.

Nuvolari channel (available in Italy)



Not really, was boring as hell last year. Only 10-12 cars raced.

Lola is going to use the A1GP car for a new chassis for this series, looks much more professional with their "own" chassis. Guess Lola didn't knew what to do with the old A1GP cars. Also the engine got a lil bigger as it has gone from 3.0 to a 3.4 producing 550 BHP now (Still with powerboost).

that's taste

Please, someone broadcast that series. Racing will be awesome with the old A1GP chassis

Nice, A1GP is back.

and a fully sponsored GP2 season for the champion makes it just that bit more interesting for the drivers

Would love to see this series with the old A1GP cars.

some pics of the 2009 lola car driven by Davide Rigon:

Nice, and they race in Zolder, so if they have a decent field I might go to the event.
