# Series

## International F3000 Championship

Succeeding the outdated Formula 2, the **International F3000 Championship** was the prime feeder series for Formula 1 until 2004, where itself got succeeded by the F1-bound cheaper GP2 Series.

## Japanese F3000/All-Japan F3000

Just as it's European counterpart, the **Japanese F3000** succeeded the national Formula 2 as top-level Japanese series. Over the years it was the foundation of plenty successful Japanese and International drivers, including the likes of Aguri Suzuki, Ukyo Katayama and Mika Salo. In 1996 however, it didn't adapt the European concept of a one-make series and got renamed to Formula Nippon.

## British F3000/British F2

National F3000 championship, mainly held in Great Britain. Despite notoriously low car counts and high costs, it still proved worthy for drivers like Damon Hill, Alain Menu and Roland Ratzenberger, who got their first F3000 experience in this series. Several attempts to revive the series in 1997 as **UK3000** and by the BRSCC in 2000 failed to get off the grounds.

## Pan-Pacific Formula Brabham

Born from the idea to unify the East Asian and Oceanian F3000 cars in selected races, this series was held in 1993 and 1995 in Indonesia, at the Australian GP support program and in New Zealand.

## Mexican F3000

Intended to bring a top-level feeder series to México and using an modified version of the European Lola T96/50, the series failed to make an impact in the scene and got succeeded by the US-bound Indy Lights Panamericana.

## Italian F3000/Euro F3000/Euroseries 3000/AutoGP

Introduced as another national F3000 championship, it quickly took the slot of the British F3000 and evolved into an European series, using previous generation International F3000 cars. As the series faced extinction after main investor Superfund pulled out at the end of 2004 and the **Pro 3000 Series** emerged as cheaper competiton in the same country, the **Italian F3000** was taken over by Coloni to abandon the F3000 concept and build their own heritage, despite never leaving their roots in F3000.

### Euroseries 3000/Auto GP

Succeeding the moderately successful **Italian F3000** in 2006, the later-called **Auto GP** series was initially a success around the WTCC circus. In 2013 however costs were again spiralling out of control, full-season entries were rare across the field and the series eventually died a slow, painful death as a sub-class in the BOSS GP series.

## Formula Chrysler Euroseries/Formula BRL

Originally named **International Single Seater Challenge**, the **Formula Chrysler Euroseries** saw the same fate as other series in the F3000 category and wasn't able to fulfill its plan of establishing a feeder series in Europe. Similar to A1 Grand Prix later, the cars were picked up to race in another short-lived series.

## 3000 Pro Series/F3000 International Masters/International Formula Master

Following the idea of the abandoned **Italian F2** and with the **Euro F3000** seemingly falling apart in late 2004, another series emerged as option for a national F3000 series in Italy: the **3000 Pro Series** utilized the now abandoned penultimate International F3000 cars for two seasons before rebranding as **International Formula Master** and introducing their own car. Just like the rivalling **Auto GP** series as immediate successor, the IFM initially looked like a success around the WTCC circus, but full-season entries were rare across the field and eventually the organizers ran out of money.
