Formula 3000 produced many top flight motorsport talents, but not all of them won in the series. james_newbold lists the top 10 nearly men of F3000. Feature:
On both occasions that Darren Manning finished runner-up in an International Formula 3000 race, it was future grand prix winner Mark Webber who beat the Yorkshireman to the gold. But in what was effectively a one-car Arden team, with stablemate Victor Maslov a perennial tailender, Manning did a commendable job.
Had he been kept on for a third season, given Arden’s upswing in form, it’s a reasonable assumption that Manning would have broken his duck in 2002. But he instead found himself pedalling stock cars in the ASCAR series before heading Stateside to Champ Car for 2003.
Second on the grid, he’d dropped behind the GBDA cars on the opening lap, but fought back past Jean-Denis Deletraz and pressed Grouillard all the way to the flag – finishing 0.2s in arrears – after leader Martin Donnelly lost gears. He also qualified second for the Dijon finale, but had a bad start and retired after contact with Bertrand Gachot while scrapping over third.
