What is a "test drive" that the F3000 winner gets? Aren't usually F3000 winners part of the teams in F1.

Not always.... F3000 is just as messed up at CART in the prest situation. If you wanted a serious merger.... F3000 and CART would be a good one..... But to answer your question...
F3000 Champs:
1998: Juan Montoya (went onto CART with Chip Ganassi for two years before F1)
1999: Nick Heidfeld (went straight to F1 with Prost)
2000: Bruno Junqueira (went onto CART with Chip Ganassi, still in CART with Newman/Hass)
2001: Justin Wilson (in F1 with Minardi, but it took him a few years to get there, raced in Telefonica last year)
2002: Sebastian Bourdais (went onto to CART with Newman/Hass)
2003: Björn Wirdheim (leader as of now, talking to a few CART teams)
