TheEuropean Formula Two Championship was aFormula Twomotor racing series that was held between 1967–84. The races were held acrossEurope, and were contested both by drivers aiming to compete inFormula One in the future as well as current Formula One drivers wishing to practice. The series was sanctioned by theFIA,motorsport's world governing body.
In order to prevent the series being dominated by Formula One drivers, the grading system was introduced where successful Formula One drivers and recent Formula Two champions were not eligible to score championship points if they competed in a round of the European Formula Two Championship.
Towards the end of the series' life, the number of entrants diminished and declining interest meant that it was replaced by theFormula 3000 class following the1984 season.
