Sorry, nsxr, my knowledge of English is not as good as to clearly understand what you wrote: could you be a little bit plainer?
It's not clear to me what you are exactly proposing Last edited by climb; 2 Apr 2003 at 07:42. |

I think he means: If they made F3000 like it used to be with different engines and chassis available. Instead of Nissan and Renault making their own championships they just made engines for F3000. Also the Dallara and Tatuus chassis could compete against Lola.

This hypothesis would get back to F2.
It would be much more spectacular, but costs would evenctually be higher, that is why mono make series become more and more frequent. Competition obliges manufacturers to keep R&D effort high all year long, similarly to what happens in F1, whereas most teams don't have all that money to afford such cars. |

But isn't there an argument that if chassis and engine manufacturers have to compete for sales, it could drive costs down rather than up?
I've been banging on about this for a long time; I'd love to see a resurrected Formula 2 with Lola, Dallara and maybe Panoz/G-Force chassis, and Judd/Zytek, Nissan, BMW and Mugen engines. |

I think Lola Cars will be afraid if will be the return of F2 scheme: the last time when his F3000 chassis competed with another ones they lost fair and square with the Reynard (even the G-Force) chassises. It was happened in F.Nippon during 1999 season.

And I don't think British F3 can be used as a cost-effective example of a multi-chassis formulae. How much?! Not only that, but as soon as one driver becomes quicker than the driver who he used to be matched by in a junior formula, people all say it's because he's got a better car. So people come out with the fabled line "they need to make all the cars equal, then we'd see who is quickest". So they do, and people suddenly go back to preferring the multi-chassis days. Full circle, and all that ... |

Costs would double easily. Wasnt one of the early problems with F3000 was that it was so obnoxiously expensive only ride buyers could ultimately afford it, thus lowering the quality of the grid and its perception by upper-level team owners?
I know an American driver who used to do F3k during the late 80s and he said it was out of control and truly was a mini-F1 |
