Formula 3000

Formula 3000 is a type of formula racing.

Chassis

The first chassis from March and Ralt were largely based upon existing Formula Two designs, although Lola's entry was based on and looked very much like an Indy car. Several smaller teams tried obsolete three-litre Formula One cars, with little success. The first few years of the championship saw March drivers establishing a superiority over Ralt. 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. They kept up this success in F3000.... The next couple of years saw Lola improve slightly and March slip, but both were crushed by Reynard teams and by the mid-90s F3000 was a virtual one-make formula, although Lola did return with a promising car and the Japanese Footwork and Dome chassis were seen in Europe. Dallara briefly tried the series before moving up to Formula One.
