Formula 3000

A small British Formula 3000 series ran for several years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, usually using year-old cars.

An Italian series evolved into a second-level one, Euro Formula 3000 (now Euroseries 3000), running the previous generation of spec Lolas.

As of 2010, it is renamed Auto GP, using old A1 Grand Prix cars and engines in place of F3000 regulations.

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.

Japanese F3000 was renamed Formula Nippon in 1996, and completely split off from European racing in 2009 with the new Swift chassis.
