Euro 3000

Daisy · 2 May 2003, 14:16 (Ref:587417)

Do I see that right? Only 13(!) cars on the grid this year.

That's not much.

Today's times:
1 - Roman Rusinov - GP Racing - 1'49"423
2 - Matteo Grassotto - Traini - 1'49"572
3 - Augusto Farfus - Draco - 1'49"975
4 - Sven Heidfeld - Draco - 1'50"508
5 - "Babalus" - Fam�* - 1'50"575
6 - Fabrizio Del Monte - GP Racing - 1'50"666
7 - Gianmaria Bruni - ADM - 1'50"818
8 - Joel Nelson - John Village - 1'50"863
9 - Milos Pavlovic - Energy - 1'51"088
10 - Colin Brown - Traini - 1'51"624
11 - Nicky Pastorelli - Fam�* - 1'51"797
12 - Rafael Sperafico - ADM - 1'52"225
13 - Peter Boss - John Village - 1'52"342

More evidence that the potential field is being spread too thinly across International F3000, Euro F3000 and TWS. Most of us will know few of these drivers, and probably few will make it to the top.

Russfeld · 2 May 2003, 16:23 (Ref:587636)

Bruni and Farfus are the only decent guys in that series. Poor Gianmaria

Daisy · 2 May 2003, 17:11 (Ref:587723)

I don't agree with you, Farfus is good yes, he's a favourite of mine, but I rate Grassotto, Nelson ánd Rusinov higher that Bruni. Rusinov is a quick driver from Russia, I hope hé gets a chance from Minardi in stead of that slow Zlobin.

*formula3* · 2 May 2003, 17:16 (Ref:587729)

i´m surprised that heidfeld is 4 th

must be because of the good team...he wasn´t a front runner in f3...and i rate him lower than bruni or pavlovic

Daisy · 2 May 2003, 17:21 (Ref:587734)

Draco is a good team. They, Traini and GP Racing are the only teams I reguarly saw testingtimes from on the internet.

The only thing is: were is Imola Racing. Did they quit? Luckily Pastorelli drives at Fama now, but strange they dissapeard? Are they back next week?

*formula3* · 2 May 2003, 17:55 (Ref:587762)

who´s pastorelli, i mean what was he doing before euro3000?

sceptic · 2 May 2003, 18:16 (Ref:587798)

Pastorelli has been doing Italian(?) F3 with Imola Racing, but quit to do Euro3000 - he had originally signed to do Euro3000 with Imola, but they seemed to have pulled out...along with half a dozen other teams.

Marcel ten Caat · 2 May 2003, 18:21 (Ref:587808)

Pastorelli did/does the Italian Formula 3 championship with Imola Racing, perhaps they decided to stay in F3 and allowed him to participate in Euro3000 with another team.

Before this season he did:
1994: Mini's 60CC
1996: Juniors/Cadets - 6th World Championship
1997: Juniors - 7th Euro Champ., 3rd Dutch Champ.
1998: ICA 100cc - 3rd Euro Champ., 2nd Dutch Champ.
1999-2000: Formula A
2000: Formula Arcobaleno 6 races (5x pole, 3x win, 3rd overall)
2001: Formula Renault 2000 - Italian Champ.
2002: Formula Renault Euro Champ.

whats wrong with pavlovic - he won the italian f3 last year and is 10 times more decent than that pig bruni could ever be!

Russfeld · 2 May 2003, 18:39 (Ref:587835)

There's Italian F3?

Bruni at least won Formula Renaults and in British F3

jiggly_puff · 2 May 2003, 18:40 (Ref:587838)

yeah because of his luck and situation - given the same support milos would be doing better than bruni.......anyway i still have more respect for pavlovic

jiggly_puff · 2 May 2003, 19:00 (Ref:587859)

where can i get more info on this series?

I don't agree either; along with Bruni and Farfus a number of them have shown real talent either in various series in the past: Pavlovic (British & Italian F3), Grassotto (Euro 3000/German F3), "Babalus" (Italian then Euro 3000), Rusinov (French F.Renault, and maybe less significanly in Club F.Palmer Audi)...

I thought the grids would be smaller this year, but not this small!

It surely won't survive into 2004 like this...

jiggly_puff, the official website is: http://www.euro3000series.com/

The Tiscali (semi-official?) site from 2002, seemingly abandoned, is: http://euro3000.tiscali.co.uk/

A good Italian site for Euro 3000 news is: http://www.italiaracing.net/ (you can translate using something like BabelFish: http://babelfish.altavista.com/)

cheers jon!

GP Racing has a website? Where is it?
I visited Imola Racing website (http://www.imolaracing.it) but they didn't say nothing about his F3000 lineup, also no Italian F3 news despited they're present in it.

I don't know if GP Racing has a website, but I found some news about GP Racing on Italiaracing.net & crash.net.

Daisy · 4 May 2003, 15:16 (Ref:589191)

Well, a little suprise for me: Bruni won!

1 - Gianmaria Bruni - ADM
2 - Augusto Farfus - Draco - a 3"4
3 - Matteo Grassotto - Traini - a 5"2
4 - Babalus - Fam�* - a 33"0
5 - Peter Boss - Village - a 37"8
6 - Roman Rusinov - GP Racing - a 40"8
7 - Milos Pavlovic - Energy - a 46"2
8 - Nicky Pastorelli - Fam�* - a 46"5
9 - Rafael Sperafico - ADM - a 51"4
10 - Joel Nelson - Village - a 1 giro

*formula3* · 4 May 2003, 15:19 (Ref:589195)

any ideas why rusinov dropped down so many places, and what happened to heidfeld? i bet he crashed...

nau_jr · 4 May 2003, 23:35 (Ref:589651)

Rusinov stalled at the start, that cost him about 40 seconds. Then he moved up from last to 6th pos.

corkholio · 5 May 2003, 10:03 (Ref:589894)

Sven Heidfeld absolutely got *smoked* by Roberto Gonzalez of all people back in the FC Euroseries. Pretty safe to say which Heidfeld got all the talent. Here is a clue: it doesn't rhyme with "ven".
