1995 German Formula Three Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1995 German Formula Three Championship (German: 1995 Deutsche Formel-3-Meisterschaft) was a multi-event motor racing championship for single-seat open wheel formula racing cars that held in Germany and in France. The championship featured drivers competing in two-litre Formula Three racing cars built by Dallara which conform to the technical regulations, or formula, for the championship. It commenced on 22 April May at Hockenheimring and ended at the same place on 15 October after eight double-header rounds.

KMS driver Norberto Fontana became the first Argentine champion and the first champion from Americas. He dominated the season, winning ten of 16 races. Ralf Schumacher finished as runner-up with wins at Norisring and Diepholz Airfield Circuit, losing 85 points to Fontana. Massimiliano Angelelli also won at Norisring, completing the top-three in the drivers' championship. While Jarno Trulli, who spent his first two rounds in the B-Cup won both races in the season finale at Hockenheim. Jakob Sund won the title in B-Cup with just two-point advantage of Tim Bergmeister.[1]
