The 2000 Auto Trader RAC British Touring Car Championship season was the 43rd British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) season and marked the final year for Super Touring specification cars in the championship. The champion was Alain Menu driving a Ford Mondeo, while Alan Morrison won the newly introduced Class B championship in a Peugeot 306 GTi. ==Changes for 2000== *Nissan, Renault and Volvo retired their works teams, thus leaving only three manufacturers with factory supported entries: Ford, Honda and Vauxhall. *1999 champion Laurent Aïello did not return to defend his crown, the Frenchman instead signing with Audi to compete in Le Mans and the newly revived DTM championship in Germany. *After a difficult 1999 season, former double champion John Cleland announced his retirement from the series. *Honda enlisted 1994 champion Gabriele Tarquini and Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen to partner James Thompson, and signed off Peter Kox. *Rickard Rydell joined the Ford team from the departed Volvo squad. *At Vauxhall, Yvan Muller was partnered by Jason Plato and Vincent Radermecker, having joined from Renault and Volvo respectively. *A smaller Super Touring field for 2000 resulted in the introduction of "Class B" cars based on Super Production regulations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2000 British Touring Car Championship season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
