Congratulations to Nicolas Prost, 2008 Euroseries 3000 champion.
Two wins for Crestani, and two podiums for Giammaria on his F3000 return. Final Points - Euroseries 3000 1 Nicolas Prost 60 2 Fabio Onidi 58 3 Adam Khan 55 4 Luiz Razia 52 5 Fabrizio Crestani 49 6 Omar Leal 38 7 Fabio Beretta 32 8 Roldan Rodriguez 26 9 Felipe Guimaraes 16 10 Raffaele Giammaria 12 11 Clivio Piccione 12 12 Pastor Maldonado 11 13 David Garza 10 14 Edoardo Piscopo 10 15 Davide Rigon 9 16 Bruno Mendez 8 17 Juan-Ramon Zapata 8 18 Francesco Dracone 7 19 Bruno Mendez 8 20 Rodolfo Gonzalez 3 21 Matteo Cozzari 2 22 Diego Romanini 2 23 Maria de Villota 2 Italian F3000 1 Omar Leal 35 2 Fabio Onidi 34 3 Nicolas Prost 34 4 Luiz Razia 32 5 Roldan Rodriguez 26 6 Adam Khan 25 7 Felipe Guimaraes 16 8 Fabrizio Crestani 15 9 Fabio Beretta 15 10 Clivio Piccione 12 11 Matteo Cozzari 2 12 Francesco Dracone 2 ======================= On the subject, can anyone clarify the engine situation in the series? I thought a more powerful Mecachrome engine was introduced in 2007, but other sources suggest the original Zytek (as in FIA F3000) is still used. I presume all teams are running the same engine (some team websites state Renault-Mecachrome, some Zytek) Also, some teams and entry list call certain cars Lola B06/50... I remember there were aerodynamic and gearbox modifications on the Lola B02/50 for 2006, but is there any kind of official recognition for the B06/50 type name? Lola Heritage doesn't list it. |

The cars were updated in 2006. They use Zytek, 3.4l IIRC, pretty much the same as the LMP2 motor.

I think the engine is 4.0 V8 Mecachrome unit and last year they introduced some aero addons, like front wing and chimneys. With this config, someone(may be Rigon) beat Pantano's F3000 record at Magny Cours.

Thanks all. You'd think google would have picked up the Lola website! I'm still confused though, as the cars are generally all called Lola B02/50 in entry lists etc.
Euroseries 3000 did announce a deal (12th January 2007) to run Mecachrome 500HP engines from that season - http://www.euroseries3000.com/new/news.asp?id=345 Quote:

It's not that complicated. The cars are the same B02/50's, they've just swapped names with the upgrade pack (B06/50). I assume they all run the same package since it's monomake.

Yes, this is the news I remember, though I thought it was 4.0. But I think JohnMiller is right, there's a link to Zytek on their website, so I guess they have used the Mecachrome engine just for 2007.
http://www.zytekgroup.co.uk/Default.aspx?tid=158 It is a 3.0l Zytek engine and the wording of this article suggests they have used Zytek engines every year since 2005. |
