1994 International Formula 3000 Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from 1994 Formula 3000 season)

The 1994 Formula 3000 International Championship was the tenth season of Formula 3000 in Europe. Jean-Christophe Boullion won the championship after eight rounds.

Technical changes

[edit]

After a year out of Europe, Lola returned with an extensively developed new car. Reynard was still the dominant manufacturer, and retained many components from its previous car while introducing an F1-style high nose.

The regulation requiring long sidepods was removed, which meant that the cars became less pitch-sensitive.[1] The long —vortex generators— on the front wing endplates were banned as part of an ongoing effort to reduce costs.[2]
