1993 International Formula 3000 Championship

After two poor seasons, Lola had no European customers after their two French teams, DAMS and Apomatox, switched to Reynards.

The new 93D featured a manual sequential gearbox, as opposed to the H-pattern found on the previous car, along with aerodynamic and suspension improvements.

Olivier Beretta joined the Forti Corse team for 1993, and won the opening round at Donington Park.

The Pau Grand Prix was marked by the usual first-lap crash at the Lyceé hairpin, followed by another on the pit straight as several drivers were unable to see the red flags.

Enna produced the usual crashes, as well as a fine battle for the lead between Lamy and eventual winner David Coulthard.

With all three contenders eliminated in the opening laps, Panis celebrated from the pit wall as his teammate Lagorce won from the two Apomatox cars of Boullion and Collard.
