International Formula 3000 was a motor racing series created by the FIA to become the final preparatory step for drivers hoping to enter Formula One. The series ran until 2004, after which it was replaced by the GP2 Series. It would offer cheaper and more open racing than its predecessor Formula Two and would be a viable series for teams without a sufficient budget to enter Formula One.
