The 1994 Formula 3000 International Championship was the tenth season of Formula 3000 in Europe. Jean-Christophe Boullion won the championship after eight rounds.
Technical changes
After a year out of Europe, Lola returned with an extensively developed new car. Reynard was still the dominant manufacturer, and retained many components from its previous car while introducing an F1-style high nose.
The regulation requiring long sidepods was removed, which meant that the cars became less pitch-sensitive.Starkey, John. Lola - All The Sports Racing & Single-seater Racing Cars from 1978-1997, pp. 151. The long —vortex generators— on the front wing endplates were banned as part of an ongoing effort to reduce costs.L'annee Formule 3000 1992. Drapeau a Damier.
