Pits stops for Formula 3000

The remaining two rounds of the FIA Formula 3000 International Championship are going to feature mandatory tire stops, prior to the idea being introduced at every race next year. Teams will be restricted to having eight crew members per car, including the jack-men. This will introduce an element of strategy into the series which has produced some rather dull races in recent years. It will also provide a good training for young drivers en route to Formula 1.
