Formula 3000

As the final rung below Formula 1 on motor racing's ladder to the top, the International Formula 3000 Championship ran from 1985 to 2004 and nurtured numerous drivers who went on to become future stars. Names like Jean Alesi, Christian Fittipaldi, Juan Pablo Montoya and Nick Heidfeld all became International F3000 champions, while notables who established themselves in team ownership and management included Eddie Jordan, Christian Horner, Helmut Marko and David Sears. Now, in a publishing 'first', F3000's 20-year history is celebrated in book form by a talented first-time author whose meticulous research includes interviews with over 100 key figures from the era. A wealth of colour photography completes the recipe for a volume that will fill a significant gap on enthusiasts' bookshelves.
