The European Formula 5000 Championship was a motor racing series for Formula 5000 cars held annually from 1969 to 1975.[1] It was organized in the United Kingdom by the British Racing and Sports Car Club with each championship also including rounds held at European circuits.[2]
The championship was first run in 1969 as the Guards Formula 5000 Championship.[1] Various sponsorship and name changes followed, with the series run as the Guards European Formula 5000 Championship in 1970,[1] the Rothmans F5000 European Championship in 1971 [3][4][5] and 1972,[6][7][8] the Rothmans 5000 European Championship in 1973[9][10][11] and 1974[12][13][14] and finally as the ShellSport 5000 European Championship in 1975.[15][16][17]
The series was replaced by the Shellsport International Series in 1976[18] with Formula One, Formula Two and Formula Atlantic cars also eligible to compete.[2]
