International F3000 1996
Jorg Muller, driving for RSM Marko, won the first season of the new single car-single engine control formula. The title battle went on after the final round, however. Super Nova driver Kenny Brack was judged to have caused an avoidable accident with Muller at Hockenheim, leading to his exclusion and the promotion of Muller to champion. Ricardo Zonta (Draco) made a strong impression with two wins, while Marc Goossens (Astromega) and Christophe Tinseau (DAMS) also won races.
