DebutSilverstone 1989

The Reynard 89D was built for the 1989 International Formula 3000 Championship. The 89D used one of three different 3.0 L (180 cu in) V8 engines; a Mugen, a Ford-Cosworth, or a Judd.[3][4][5]

The model participated in the 1989 season. Thomas Danielsson won the model's debut race at Silverstone, and Jean Alesi became the champion of the series, also driving the 89D.[6]

A modified version of the 89D model, dubbed the 89M, was also constructed. The car was equipped with a Mugen 3.5-liter V8 engine and Formula 1 wheels and served as a test platform for Bridgestone.[7]
