Euro STC 2000 Season Review

A season review highlights programme of the 2000 Euro STC (Euro SuperTouring Car championship). In German language, but even if you don't speak German, still an interesting watch for a series with very little footage around. Twitter @tomhlord The championship had a strong Italian feeling, with many tracks, teams and drivers from the country, despite the "Euro" title. No surprise seen as the series was spawned from the 1999 Italian Superturismo Championship. http_//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Superturismo_Championship The 2000 Euro STC featured drivers such as Nicola Larini, Fabrizio Giovanardi, Gianni Morbidelli, Roberto Colciago, Peter Kox, David Leslie (for the final round), Gabriele Tarquini (for the final couple of rounds), Gianluca de Lorenzi, Max Pigoli, Emanuele Naspetti & Stefano Gabellini Tracks_ Mugello (Italy), Enna Pergusa (Italy), A1-Ring (Austria - Now called the Red Bull Ring), Monza (Italy), Hungaroring (Hungary), Imola (Italy-San Marino), Misano (Italy), Brno (Czech Republic), Vallelunga (Italy) & Cerklje (Slovenia) which has to be noted as one of the worst condition tracks I've ever seen in a European race series. There is a brief article here about the final race weekend. Also worth noting that, from the onboard shot, you can see Kox had contact from behind and that car was an Alfa.... http_//www.motorsport.com/general/news/etcc-cerklje-race-results/ Cars_ Audi A4 Quattro, Alfa-Romeo 156 (run by Nordauto, now called N-Technology), BMW 320i, Honda Accord (run by, I believe, the Italian JAS team), Opel Vectra. The championship ran to the SuperTouring regulations and existed for only 2 years (part of the LG Super Racing Weekend), 2000 & 2001 (Giovanardi champion in 2001 also) before turning into the ETCC and then the current WTCC
