F3000 TO BECOME
FGP2 IN 2005
- International Formula
3000 will undergo name change in 2005. It will become Formula GP2 to
more closely align the series to Formula 1.
- F3000 (Bruno Michel):
" .... we will have a car that is going to be as close as possible
to Formula 1 in terms of engine, chassis and tyres .... This new series
will be the last step before Formula One ... costs will be kept low
to make it successful .... Formula 3000 is suffering because the costs
are too high .."

the next step forward.... This is a really big opportunity for me which

I hope to learn as quickly as possible"

that we have secured the services of Vitantonio and Robert with our
goals clearly being to retain both Championships ... Vitantonio clearly
demonstrated his championship potential during the 2003 season and was
very impressive when he tested with us at both Estorill and Monza and
Robert demonstrated a considerable speed during his F3 career and was
immediately quick when he tested with us at Jerez in November and I
am sure that he will quickly adapt to F3000. F3000 look set to have
another competitive (year) and with a recent introduction of mandatory
