Formula 3000

[marcus]

just wondering what people thought about F3000..when i first got into watching F1 back in the mid 80's..f3000 was the class that was raved about for the up and coming drivers and most of the champoins have ended up in the top level that is F1..but the early 90's and mid 90's seemed to be a bit different ..the class seemed to have lost its way and wasnt regarded in as high esteem as it was..for reasons i know not why ???

but the last 2 years at least there seems to be a resurgence in the class ..with F1 team managers takeing great interest in whats going on..maybe its because of the junior team thing i dont know..but do you feel that it is getting back to the way that it should be by being a great feeding ground for F1 or is it there already or has it totally fallen in a hole and may never be looked upon as a place for drivers to hone their skills..or possibly am I just making all this up by thinking to much at work when I should be concentrating on the task at hand ???? :confused:
