V8-powered Formula 3000 Cars Singing on Hillclimb Roads!

One of the coolest things you can see during a hillclimb race is for sure the line-up of old Formula 3000 cars. And this video is a compilation I made putting together some of the clips I recorded from 2016 to 2019 during various hillclimb races I attended here in Italy. You can generally find different eras of F3000s, both V6 or V8-powered but for this video I decided to only group the V8 ones. Engines are generally from Zytek, Judd, Cosworth or Mugen and this leads to some of the best sounding cars the mountains have ever heard. Being old cars developed for track use, the current owners/drivers usually introduce aerodynamic updates to make them more competitive and suitable for these mountain courses. Sometimes these updates are pretty much extreme giving them the look of prototypes than actual Formula cars (see those Reynards at 0:50 and 1:04 or the purple Lola B99/50 with the rear wings taken from an actual Osella FA30 prototype).
In particular the cars you see in this video are:
- Lola B02/50 (the light blue/yellow one at the beginning of the video): It was the only car allowed in the International Formula 3000 starting from the 2002 season, replacing the Lola B99/50, and used in the last three seasons of that championship, then replaced by the GP2 Series. It was powered by a Zytek 3.0-litre V8 with around 470 hp.
- Lola B06/51 (the white one at 0:32): also known as "FN06", it was a Formula Nippon car used in the Japanese series from 2006 to 2008. It was originally powered by Honda HF386E or Toyota RV8J engines. The one you see in this video has been slightly modified to accomodate a Judd 3.0 V8 with around 520 hp.
- Lola B99/50 (the three red ones at 1:35, 2:34 and 4:11, plus the purple car at 0:14): This Lola was conceived as the only car allowed in the International Formula 3000 starting from the 1999 season. It was used for three seasons in that championship, until 2001, before being replaced by the Lola B02/50. Engine is a Zytek 3.0 V8.
- Reynard 2KL (White and red car at 1:03, in 2016, or 3:25, in 2018): this chassis was introduced in Formula Nippon in 2000 and used until 2002. It was originally powered by a Mugen 3.0 V8 engine which was kept at first for hillclimb use on the car you see here. It was later replaced with a Cosworth 3.0 V8 tuned and modified by Armaroli Sport. In 2016 it featured that Formula E-ish aero kit on the front wheels but it was later removed because the weight of the additional parts wasn't justified by any major increase in speed or aero load. It was so modified to a more traditional (yet bigger) front wing for the following years. In this video that 2KL should have both the Mugen (when it features the Formula E-ish kit) and the Cosworth when the aero was modified.
- Reynard 01L (black and red one at 0:50, in 2016, or 3:14, in 2018): it was one of the Formula Nippon cars used in the Japanese series in 2001 and 2002. As the previous Reynard 2KL, the car was subjected to the same aero upgrades and mods. The only difference is that the orignal engine was swapped way before 2016 with a Cosworth 3.0 V8 on this 01L, so in this video it always features the Cosworth. You can notice the sound difference at 6:52 of the Cosworth compared to the Mugen at 11:45 on the Reynard 2KL.
- Reynard 97D (the white one at 1:17 or 3:40): a 1997 chassis used in both Formula Nippon and the Australian Formula Holden championships. Even in this case I think the original engine has been changed. In fact the car you see in this video is powered by a Judd 3.0 V8 while originally the 97D should have been with a Mugen V8 for the Japanese series or a V6 in the Formula Holden championship.

Watching the Formula 5000 cars down here in New Zealand is awesome, you can never go wrong with a 70’s style open wheeler

[@apancher]

We've got them here in the US, too. They're always a treat!

[@toksyak9196]

0:50 looks like it's got the front half of a gen 1 Formula E car and the back half of some old LMP car

[@KitKitChanIsaac]

Front of Formula E Gen 1,back of some Indycar

[@dicknodnfs]

Hillclimb footage is what got me hooked on this channel. Europe's version of autocross.

[@benwilkinson1594]

Autocross not even close to this

[@19Bozzy92]

Thanks for your comment! Yeah, I know I should start again to attend some of these hillclimb races.. I'll see in the future

What a fantastic combination this will always be: these lightning fast open wheelers on a narrow bumpy mountain road... Incredible, thanks for sharing Bozzy, big fan :)

[@19Bozzy92]

As usual it's a pleasure! Thanks for your comment, mate

[@yannx4968]

At 8:24 "follow me if you can"... I cannot do that ! :o)

[@MulsanneRacing]

This is more exiting than F1, the best side of hillclimb, where you can see rally cars, GT cars, TCR, Fórmula cars, prototypes.... And of course the sound of the cars, if you bring anyone to a hillcimb, they will enjoyed, guaranteed!!! Great video as always👍

[@19Bozzy92]

Thanks a lot for your comment! Glad you appreciated the video

[@Veka550M]

I quit watching at 2:40, just could not handle it any longer, all senses overwhelmed, goosebumps and all...

[@bolkoschuseil7484]

You have to know every inch of these bumpy roads to go that fast! Great shots!

[@19Bozzy92]

Indeed! Thanks for watching

[@enricocelani8292]

"Follow me if you can" è una frase storica più che altro "pistereccia" che ho letto per la prima volta a Vallelunga negli anni 90 sulla Porsche di Dazzan.

[@briannute4383]

We don't have this in the U.S. thank you for excellent videos!

[@gufo_tave]

In the U.S. there is the Pikes Peak...

After going to f3000 race in Long Beach CA. ( 1976 I think ), I fell in love with these cars. Seemed like max performance for minimum cost compared F1 or Indy cars. So this compilation is priceless to me. And with your detailed technical info you woke-up a sleeping passion in my race fan heart. You just got one more subscriber here Thank You

[@EL100TIFIKO_01]

I love your descriptions, thank you very very much

Good compilation 👍.. I like 😃... Thanks...

[@19Bozzy92]

Thanks for watching!

[@tescoshortage]

Those Cosworth V8s handedly sound the best out of the Zyteks and Mugens.

[@fragmaka]

love your work...love the "singing"

[@philipejeuceoututkache]

The Zytek V8 remain the best sounding.

[@Axel-rr4sv]

Belle auto e bellissimo video🤗💪👍bravo👻🤗💪👍

[@19Bozzy92]

Grazie mille!

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

7:50 WTF is a bouncy ball being thrown onto the track for?

[@Twobarpsi]

Lol I saw that in the first minute too...

[@19Bozzy92]

I can't really remember what happened there because it was back in 2017. The only thing I can say with certainty is that the purple Lola B99 you see leaving the start line was the very last car to attack the hillclimb course. So basically the race was over after that and the course was 'clear'

[@UnknownArtist994]

Pure raw sounds new era kids!

[@StuartVaughan47]

Man I wish we had this in Australia!

[@roosbon5175]

The real sound for my soul...😋🥰😍🏁...

[@neek_yt8]

like the sounds that are sounded the same as an original f1 like these from 2:53

[@thatonenigeriansformula]

I am in love

[@dryindaya]

long live 19bozzy92 🙌🙌

[@MrhEurocars]

this F3000 still better than F1 Nowadays

[@stev6free146]

What a sound

[@sidewayzmike]

That 2nd car sounds like a judd power train

[@BLACKOMAMBO]

So thats the engine they got in the georg plaza bmw and slk340

[@dhevandatito3444]

EARGASM😌☕

[@m7md4x4]

The right word used, singing.

[@kierenboimufc5940]

Wounded how many have judd v8

[@TheJokerit19]

What's with the beach ball at 0:28 and 7:50, LOL?

[@19Bozzy92]

Don't really know and can't remember honestly. The only thing I can say with certainty is that the purple car which left the starting line in those two clips was the very last to attack the hillclimb course. So basically the race was over after that and the course was 'clear'

[@enricocelani8292]

Quelle con i passaruota mi ricordano molto le monoposto che correvano nell'interserie.

[@aldraven4308]

Nevegal too 🤘👍

[@nathanshore2481]

best bit 8:03 to 8:18

[@korts857]

Where's the protection! ?? On the sides of the track

[@jendrus423]

[@carsismyaddiction6919]

2:40 judd?
