The engine of choice was the venerable small block Chevrolet V8 of 5-liter displacement. It started as a bright idea in 1967 and ran successfully until politics between the governing body, race organizers, and team owners did it in, at the end of the 1976 season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although there were four competitive Formula 5000 championships: the Rothmans series in Europe, the Tasman series in Australia and New Zealand, and the Tarmac series in Britain, the heart and soul of Formula 5000 was the North American series. In the early 1970s it was known as the L&amp;M Championship after title sponsor Liggett &amp; Myers Tobacco.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1974, the SCCA and rival governing body USAC joined forces in a co-sanction to run Formula 5000. A variety of chassis manufacturers took part, but the car that dominated the later years of the series was the Lola T332. Even though the rules allowed the turbocharged Offenhauser engine to run, the engine that dominated the series was the Chevrolet 5-liter V8 which could put out a reliable 550 bhp and 425 lbs-ft of torque at 8,000 rpm. In fact it would have been an all Chevrolet victory season if not for Jackie Oliver winning two races in a Dodge V8-powered Shadow DN6.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even though many top drivers such as Mario Andretti, Mark Donohue, David Hobbs, James Hunt, Alan Jones, Jackie Oliver, Jody Scheckter, and Al Unser took part, the dominant driver one associates with Formula 5000 is Brian Redman, who won the championship in 1974, 1975, and 1976.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today, Formula 5000 cars represent a lot of racing performance for one\u2019s money. One of the most important factors in determining current market value is the cost and quality of the restoration. It is also important to note that currently, in New Zealand, Australia, and Great Britain, F5000 cars have a greater following than in America and, therefore, command a greater value. This combined with currency rates, import duties, and VAT can create a 25%\u201335% premium in the estimated value of the vehicle in these countries.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td
