Several questions connected with Formula 3000

1. Can you write here the dates of birth of the following Formula 3000 drivers:
- John Alcorn;
- Claudio Antonioli;
- Cary Bren;
- Max Busslinger;
- Simon Kane;
- Eric Lang;
- Robert Lee-Lewis;
- Norio Matsubara;
- Severino Nardozzi;
- Sergio Paese;
- Marzio Romano;
- Nicola Tesini;
- Wladimiro de Tomaso;
- Fabiano Vandone;
- Giorgio Vinella;
- Mario Waltner ?

2. As I remember Giorgio Vinella tested Minardi in 1998 and 1999 - maybe some TNFers have photos or times from this test sessions?

3. How many female drivers were in Formula 3000 ? (As I know there were at least three women: Giovanna Amati, Ellen Lohr and Cathy Muller...)

4. In 2001 FIA introduced the second name for F3000 championship - Formula One Junior; does this name remain today?

Hope this will be interesting...

Richie's excellent pages on Allens' site should tell you all you need to know re birth dates

4. No
1. Thanks Jeremy
3. 3 is right - the three that you mention.
2. Can't help, I'm afraid..

3; 3 is right if you mean only the FIA International championship. Mercedes Stermitz did British Championship and a non-championship race at Buenos Aires in 1992. Sarah Kavanagh did F.Nippon with ex F3000 Reynard and British championship.
4; I think this was a proposal that was never implimented.

Thank you all! Many dates have been settled with help of Richie's site (indeed excellent!), but not all: dates of birth of Cary Bren; Norio Matsubara; Severino Nardozzi and Mario Waltner still being unclear. If it isn't possible to determine the exact date, can we find the year of birth at least?

If I knew even only the year of birth, I'd put it on the site.... : I'll keep trying, though.

Can someone confirm if it's Nardozzi or Nardozi?

Cary Bren's has been solved & to add, Romano's birthplace is now up.
Matsubara I now know the year only at the moment. I'm still missing people like Filhol, Waltner, Nardozzi, etc - basically everyone on the list I made some while back.

Ah here it is:
