No Interlagos

Is it just me or was the annual F3000 race @ Interlagos taken off the list for 2003?

Rob29 · 7 Oct 2002, 07:49 (Ref:397319)

Not seen a calandar yet-where have you seen one?

cv2000 · 7 Oct 2002, 09:15 (Ref:397345)

the calender is at fia.com (Acrobat format)

My guess is that it was dropped due to $$$

Oops that should be Calendar.

Now if they will replace this fly-away race with Sepang? or something else....

Well, with all the teams leaving at the moment, I would have thought they would be trying to save money, and can't see them adding another to the calendar.

No Interlagos
1 less race than in 2002, 11 instead of 12
race #10 (SPA) is still conditional

Marcel ten Caat · 7 Oct 2002, 11:36 (Ref:397444)

maybe they will add a US race since the US also gets the races live on tv? (at least that's what i read some weeks ago)

if its down to money , which i imagine it is , then it makes sense....

but i think that a 11 round championship is too small for a series of its importance.

I saw that Bernie Ecclestone and Gerrald Forshyte want to buy CART in the journal de Montréal newspaper yesterday. Maybe they should think about doing F3000 part of each racing week-ends.

If they do that(buy cart) I am affraid that will be the end of F3000

Sato san · 9 Oct 2002, 05:45 (Ref:398930)

the thing is....like F1 , F3000 needs to be made so drivers can use their race craft a bit more....it needs to be made a bit more exciting.

BootsOntheSide · 9 Oct 2002, 09:14 (Ref:399052)

The thing is, all the teams are based in Europe, so the trip to Brazil cost a fortune, from the perspective of F3000's small teams who live hand-to-mouth, mostly choosign their drivers based on sponsorship, so it didn't make financial sense to go to Brazil, or anywhere outside Europe.

These rumours are plentiful. I heard Bernie had bought Brands Hatch last weekend...

DanFlag · 9 Oct 2002, 13:59 (Ref:399318)

If you remember well last year was the same thing, two venue were subject to conditions. Interlagos and Spa I think, and Spa is still conditional this year, so the championship might still end up with only 10 races.

i heard Bernie was trying to buy Cart !....

Andrew Kitson · 9 Oct 2002, 15:51 (Ref:399434)

Bernie tried to buy Brands before so he could put houses and a mega Tesco store on the site...so the rumour went in 1985. He lost and John Foulston bought it. Bernie moved the GP to Silverstone shortly after.

Sato san · 9 Oct 2002, 20:08 (Ref:399609)

thats terrible......but i imagine driving around the tesco car park would be fun had it been situated at Paddock Hil bend !

**Stephen Green** · 10 Oct 2002, 07:08 (Ref:399940)

Rumour was it was to prevent Tesco's buying the site! Don't forget he was rumoured to be quite a large shareholder in the old BHL before it was bought by Octagon.

**ghinzani** · 25 Nov 2002, 07:28 (Ref:436170)

Telefonica World Series is visiting Interlagos in a couple of weeks time, after they ahve been to Curitiba.

Speedworx · 25 Nov 2002, 19:41 (Ref:436625)

The Spa round is gone, unless they plan to share with British F3/GT.

SALEEN S7R · 25 Nov 2002, 20:57 (Ref:436681)

The thing is F3000 teams are leaving the championship, but new teams are entering, if Derek Mower does sell Nordic u can be sure that there will be people waiting to buy the team. After all hes already had offers.

Also dont forget brand motorsport, they have aquired one team and are in the process of aquiring a 2nd team, if this happens it will mean there are in fact more teams on the grid in 2003 than there has been in 2002.

No there aren't more teams then 2002 because there are no actual new teams just ownership changes...duh

It should be disallowed to own more then one team this is a discrace

SALEEN S7R · 25 Nov 2002, 23:50 (Ref:436794)

No there may be a possible new team, owned by Brand Motorsports. You tell me who else is leaving apart from Red Bull. As for it being a disgrace, why? I dont see anything wrong in it at all. If someone wants to own 2 teams let them, its not harming the sport in any way shape or form as far as I can see.

Oh and if there are ownership changes, they are new teams duh, Brand Motor Sports has bought Red Bull Jnr team fair enough, but its their own equipment that they will be using and their own base. That is what a new team is. If you actually bothered to find out u would find that some of the red bull staff have been kept on board but Brand are getting their own personal also, ie David Jensen.

Brand's second team will be Nordic. Can't you do simple math? christ
