The FIA International F3000 Championship's primary suppliers Lola, Zytek and Avon have pooled their resources to create a $150,000 prize fund for the 2003 series, including a Champ Car World Series test for the winning driver.
Teams will receive an all-new exhaust system for this season, provided by Zytek, which dramatically changes the engine note of the 450bhp V8 engine. Avon tyres have also committed awards, not only for race wins but also pole positions and fastest laps.
Teams spokesman Christian Horner commented: "This prize fund generously donated by Lola, Zytek and Avon is a real boost for this years championship. A guaranteed Champ Car test for this year's championship winning driver offers a unique opportunity and coupled with new engine acoustics from Zytek, and performance related support from Avon, provides a real benefit during difficult economic times."
Last year's F3000 champion, Sebastien Bourdais, is racing in the Champ Car World Series for the frontrunning Newman/Haas squad.
