However, as of July 2002, it had been confirmed that the series has been cancelled, although there remained a possibility that a mini-series of 1 or 2 races could take place in winter. It was reported that there were problems with the Cosworth-Mader engine and with electrics, meaning organisers were due to use a more conventional Zytek-Judd F3000 engine instead. Lorenzo del Gallo (PSM) had tested a Lola-Cosworth at Magione at the end of August, completing 60 laps. Then the same team demonstrated two cars at Vallelunga before the 6 Hours sports/GT race in November, also testing Davide Amaduzzi at Magione in December (pictured). Meanwhile Andres Rios has signed a deal with Carlo Canali's Symbol team, all events which suggested the series was on track for a 2003 debut. However, with FIA F3000, Euro 3000, the Nissan World Series and Formula Renault V6, it seemed there was no market for another series at this level. If you have any more information on the series, including any possible future plans, please contact us.
