As Westfieldbend says I'm pretty sure it was Auto GP. You can catch it on Motors TV.

They certainly went round the spare parts bin, and produced something that in the end was a bit slower than the F3000 gear.

Yes, a bunch of the old Lola B05/52s are now in their second year in that series (in 2009 it was still Euroseries 3000, with much smaller grids).

Anyone know anything about the likelihood of success of this resurrection?

Would be no small task to find franchise holders in enough countries with the necessary financial backing.

Keeping motorsport running (particularly a V12 is always the best idea, but people keep forgetting that motorsport and football just doesnt gel?

Not sure about other circuits, but around Eastern Creek the lap record was a 1:19, over 5 s faster than the F3 lap record. Fairly snappy in my books!

At Brands Hatch the gap was considerably less than that.
