Dernie's new "F1 design"
Veteran Formula 1 designer Frank Dernie has been out of Grand Prix racing for a few years now, working mainly on CART designs but the former Williams, Lotus and Ligier designer has recently unveiled the Lola B2-50 which is the car which will be used for the next few years in Formula 3000.
The revamped Formula 3000 series is still hoping to one day gain "Junior F1" status but at the moment the trend is for Formula 3 drivers to leap into F1 leaving the F3000 men struggling to break into Grand Prix racing.
