wah lau iveco never read one. It says "Nick Heidfeld finished sixth in 1996 and was a pre-event favourite for success the following year when he was struck down with illness on the eve of the race. It was the last chance he had to race there before making the jump to Formula 3000."

The waters have muddied above F3 in Europe. Historically Formula 3000 has been the final step before F1 but, since adopting single-chassis rules in 1996, it seems to have decreased in relevance. These days it runs Lola chassis powered by 450bhp Zytek V8 racing engines, but F3000 is struggling to get 20 cars on the grid. More competitive in Europe these days is the Superfund World Series by Nissan, for 2.5-litre, 450bhp V6 Nissan-engined Dallara chassis. Renault has placed two drivers, Franck Montagny and Heikki Kovalainen, in this series for 2003, and among their rivals are sometime F1 racers Marc Gene and Stephane Sarrazin. Both these championships expose their drivers to speeds of around 175mph. -

u very slow leh. this year no more F3000 liao. this year is GP2. and u dun necessary need to do F3000 b4 F1. many current F1 drivers jump from F3 or even lower junior formulas. Kimi Raikkonen jumped from Formula Renault.Originally posted by iveco: -

I believe that question has been answered. As you said so yourself, the Macau GP is for minor league races.Originally posted by HENG@:that one is talk about other series wad. u asking what happened to macau GP. close for wad? -
it hasn't been answered. the real answer is that Macau GP is held every year. and its not for minor league races. I consider F3 to be quite prestigeous, and its only held for F3, along with some of the tin-top support races.Originally posted by iveco:I believe that question has been answered.

But F3 doesn't get much media exposure as compared to it's more prestigious cousin F1.Originally posted by HENG@:it hasn't been answered. the real answer is that Macau GP is held every year. and its not for minor league races.

media exposure doesn't necessary equate to prestige.
