In the 1970s Formula 5000 was a professional open wheel road racing series.
Engine displacement was limited to 5 liter (5000cc) with the Chevrolet 302 Z/28 engine being the most popular.
These cars raced on ROAD COURSES in North America with parallel series in Europe and Australia/NZ.
Several constructors built F5000 cars but without doubt the most successful was the type T332 from Lola Cars Ltd in England.
