"Back in autumn 1996, in a time when the WorldWideWeb was growing but still a medium for computer-freaks and insiders, there were a couple of Formula One webpages and some about CART.
But no webpage dealing with Formula 3000.
So I decided to do it on my own."

Mike Zenger, Speedsport Magazine Webmaster and Editor

"Congratulations to the Champions: Damon Hill, Jimmy Vasser and Jörg Müller!" was the first title of Speedsport Magazine, named "Mike's Motorsport and Formula 3000 Page" at that time. This title is already showing what it is all about: Formula 1, Formula 3000 and CART ChampCars.

The Formula 3000 section was soon growing with drivers` biographies and race reports of the 1996 and 1997 season, together with the F1 and CART pages being joined by more and more other championships. One of the intentions and what is unique about this website is the easy, detailed and complete presentation of racing results from all major championships all over the world.

In 1998, the website got its own domain "www.speedsport.org" and was named "Mike's Speedsport Magazine" - including "The First And Unofficial Formula 3000 Site". Speedsport Magazine meanwhile has become one of the worlds biggest racing sites and leading results resource.

"The First And Unofficial Formula 3000 Site" features comprehensive statistics and Informations about the F1 feeder series.

During 2000 Speedsport Magazine got a new domain "www.speedsportmag.de" and a major facelift - with the Formula 3000 section now more integrated and a better handling and navigation.

The driver database meanwhile has grown up to over 1000 entries, and the "complete season calendar" has been introduced.
More important, the complete coding has been restructured and Speedsport Magazine, for example, calculates points automatically when results are inserted - and that by paying attention to all the scoring systems. Many of them are much more complicated than the simple Formula 1 system and I doubt that there are many non-commercial motorsport-websites that have the same amount of programming effort.

Here is the 2003 Edition of Speedsport Magazine, with the racedriver database now grown to over 2000 entries.

The last major change came at the beginning of 2004. While the "look and feel" of the new Speedsport Magazine is very similar, the complete coding is re-done. Together with better navigation, even more series and statistics, and a now searchable racedriver database, a news section with up-to-the-minute informations from the racing world has been included.
Moreover, a multi-language function is now introduced.

The race driver database has reached 3000 drivers in April 2004.
