2000 European Super Touring Cup
The 2000 European Super Touring Cup was the 27th season of European touring car racing and the first since 1988. The championship started at Mugello on 2 April and ended after ten events at Cerklje ob Krki on 8 October.
The championship was won by Fabrizio Giovanardi driving for Nordauto Engineering in an Alfa Romeo 156 after a fight against Peter Kox in his Honda Accord and Gianni Morbidelli in his BMW 320i. All of them together with Roberto Colciago achieved 5 victories each one.
Giovanardi was the only one driver able to score points in all 20 races. Peter Kox, the main title contender, had indeed two DNF and moreover he had to drive almost the all season without a team mate who could help him to take off points to Giovanardi.
Morbidelli after one year of absence, was able to win all races where the old BMW were competitive but he was not able to get excellent results also in those tracks were Honda and Alfa Romeo were stronger.
Although Colciago achieved 5 victories he lost many points due to an unlikely low reliability of his Audi A4.
Due to TV needs the race format had 2 races of just 50km both on sunday with a low break of few minutes between the two races.
