Overview

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.

Author Information

James Newbold spent seven years as a journalist at Autosport, Britain’s authoritative news magazine, indulging his passion for unearthing little-known motorsport stories. Tackling a history of Formula 3000 for his first book was therefore a fitting challenge. His enthusiasm for racing developed at a young age and even led him to leave his university graduation ceremony early to catch the last train to Brussels for the following day’s Spa 24 Hours. He lives in Plymouth with his wife and two children.
