No, the noise isn’t quite as spectacular as it was for V10 F1 cars testing at Silverstone in 2005, but the 3.0-litre Cosworth and Judd V8s aren’t too bad at all. The driver line-up is decent, too, F3000 being the final step before F1 at the time, with the likes of Johnny Herbert, Roberto Moreno and Jean Alesi on the grid.
Then there’s the speed – these F3000 cars were ridiculously fast. The last F1 race at Brands Hatch was in 1986, with Nelson Piquet taking pole in his Williams FW11 with a 1-minute 6-second best in qualifying, while the slowest car to qualify managed a 1-minute 18-second lap. Johnny Herbert’s pole lap for F3000 in ’88 was 1 minute and 14 seconds. Imagine an F2 from this year outpacing an 2019 F1 car?
