One year prior to joining Ligier in 1994, Olivier Panis was offered a test driver contract with another F1 team. Instead he went back to F3000 for another season and won the world title.
What F1 team was it?
Thanks for your help |

Ferrari in F3000? Oh please... 
I'm going to say it was either Lola or Simtek. But I'm not sure if you don't know what team it is, or you already know and this is meant to be some kind of riddle.  |

Hey Scuderia,
If I knew the answer, I wouldn't post the question!
Maybe it was Lola or Larrousse. Simtek wasn't a constructor in 1993. They joined in 1994.
The constructors in 1993 were Benetton, Ferrari, Footwork, Jordan, Larrousse, Ligier, Lola, Lotus, McLaren, Minardi, Tyrrell et Williams |

Yeah I was just thinking, why would an F1 constructor also run an F3000 team? So I was thinking maybe Simtek made the jump from F3000 to Formula 1 in 1994.
And about Lola, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't 1993 there last season? Not including their failed attempt to qualify in Melbourne '97.  |

What about Minardi then... they run a F3000 team... or atleast they did... same goes for Jordan... they had a F3000 team too...

Okay, all he's saying is that Panis had a test drive opportunity for Team A, but he went back to F3000 instead--not for Team A, necessarily, but for a different team (Team B, for example)
Frenchbiker wants to know what Team A is.

thank you. thats what i tried to say earlier. Which F1 team, not which F3000 team, whether its linked to an F1 team or not. So, that makes my random Ferrari, more accurate than "Ferrari in F3000? Oh please... "
