| Deciding not to proceed with the 8C T/A, Ernesto Maserati turned his attention to the 8C 3000 deciding to complete its development which had been inspired by the four cylinder 1500 cc. Using the same bore and stroke the 8C 3000 became active in 1932 alongside the 8C 2800 which had been derived as a stop-gap measure in 1931. The new car whilst a transitional model represented the pinnacle of the 2-seater Grand Prix racer and despite the strength of competition in 1932 went on in 1933 to win the prestigious French GP at Montihery in the hands of Campari. The car continued to be raced by Maserati customers until after the war. | |||||
