What is this open wheeled racer being overtaken by a Lister?

Around the 1 minute mark. It's confused me for a while. What is it? It CANT be an F1 car, surely? f3 car? Formula Ford?

[TVR653X]

Anyone?

Bit hard to tell from that video, but maybe a Formula Renault.

[johnnymaestro]

F Renault or F3. Tyres are not wide enough to be anything bigger.

[TVR653X]

How quick are those cars? I thought they'd do a GT car?

Must be a test day. Single seater might just be cruising around checking stuff.

Looks to me to be too big to be an F3 or Formula Renault the rear wing is too big. It looks like it has an airbox on it and with a wing like that it might be a WSR car but most likely an old F1 car (90s), if it's a test day it could be there for BOSS or FIA F1 Historic testing.

Most likely just on an out lap whatever it is.

My first thought was an FPA car, but watching again it does look a bit too wide... hmmmm

[lewis1]

hmmm, looks to me like a 90's f1 or 3000, probably doing a shakedown lap.

I think it's an F3000 car. It's most likely on a warm up or out lap though as even though it was the original GTL GT1 car, I think the single-seater would have been quicker.

[TVR653X]

Yeh, that's what I thought. The Lister is hellishly quick, but I thought a single seater would have it....except perhaps on the straights? But even then the Lister went past so fast that single seater cant have been pushing it.

[Jungles]

Looks like an F3000 car or similar. Not a full-on lap, just cruising or shaking down (maybe even pay-for-5-laps-in-a-race-car thing).

[deviant]

I remember that video was on the old Lister race team website, it was an F3000 car.

Would it be something from the EuroBoss series testing or something like that?

probably, if the video wasnt such poor quality I could tell you who.

F3000, on pace it would leave the Gt car standing.
