1997 British Formula 3000 Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1997 British Formula 3000 Championship was the aborted eighth and final season of the British Formula 3000 Championship. Only one meeting on the Brands Hatch Indy circuit went ahead on April 13, where only three cars turned up. The rest of the season was cancelled due to low interest from teams who decided to focus on the International series.

The only race was won by Dino Morelli for DKS Racing from Redman Bright Engineering's Gonzalo Rodriguez and DKS teammate Tommy Field. [1]
