	Formula 3000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Formula 3000 replaced Formula Two, and was so named because the engines used initially were 3.0 L (3000 cc) Cosworth DFV engines made obsolete by the change of Formula One from the 3.0 L normally aspirated engines around this time.
		The Formula Nippon series, unlike European F3000, featured a lot of competition between tyre companies, and tended to feature highly-paid drivers (both local and European) in cars that tended to be more developed and tested than those in the European series.
		Formula 3000 was experiencing tough competition with cheaper formulae, such as European F3000 (using ex-FIA Lola B2/99 chassis) and Formula Nissan (also known as Telefonica World Series or Superfund World Series), as well as the North American CART series.

		Formula Nippon has a fairly long history, evolving from the Japanese Formula 2000 series begun in 1973 by way of the Japanese Formula 2 and Japanese Formula 3000 championships.
		The Japanese Formula broke away at this time, and, two years later, in 1996, made the break official by changing the series name to Formula Nippon.
		Nevertheless, there have been several drivers to come from a Japanese Formula 3000 or Formula Nippon drive to a prominent Formula One role; the best-known of these is Ralf Schumacher, the 1996 Formula Nippon champion.

		He was heavily involved in the team from 1995 until he was chosen as Tyrrell's Formula One test driver in 1997.
		Takagi later competed on the Arrows Formula One team, and his European popularity was on the rise.

		The All-Japan F3000 Championship began in 1987, essentially a continuation of the All-Japan Formula 2000 and Formula 2 series which ran from 1973-77 and 1978-1986 respectively.
		The series was renamed Formula Nippon in 1996 after the organisers opted against the single chassis and engine formula introduced in International F3000.
		In 2003 a new single-chassis formula was introduced, using a Lola chassis closely related to the contemporary F3000 car.
