{{Main|International Formula 3000}}

The '''Formula 3000''' was created by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] in [[1985 Formula 3000 season|1985]] to become the final step for drivers before entering [[Formula One]]. [[Formula Two]] had become too expensive and was dominated by works-run cars with factory engines. Formula 3000 offered quicker, cheaper, more open racing. The series began as an open formula, but in [[1986 Formula 3000 season|1986]] tyres were standardized, followed by engines and chassis in [[1996 Formula 3000 season|1996]]. The series ran until [[2004 Formula 3000 season|2004]] and was replaced in 2005 by the [[GP2 Series]].

===Formula 5000 (1968-1982)===

{{Main|Formula 5000}}

'''Formula 5000''' (or '''F5000''') was an [[Open-wheel car|open wheel, single seater]] auto-racing formula that ran in different series in various regions around the world from 1968 to 1982. It was originally intended as a low-cost series aimed at open-wheel racing cars that no longer fit into any particular formula. The '5000' denomination comes from the maximum 5.0 litre engine capacity allowed in the cars, although many cars ran with smaller engines.
