2000 World Rally Championship

(Redirected from World Rally Championship 2000 results)

The 2000 World Rally Championship was the 28th season of the FIA World Rally Championship. The season consisted of 14 rallies. The drivers' world championship was won by Marcus Grönholm in a Peugeot 206 WRC, breaking the streak of Tommi Mäkinen who had won the previous 4 titles for Mitsubishi, ahead of Richard Burns and Carlos Sainz. The manufacturers' title was won by Peugeot, ahead of Ford and Subaru.

Calendar edit

The 2000 championship was contested over fourteen rounds in Europe, Africa, South America and Oceania. Rally China was originally scheduled to be the tenth round of the season but was cancelled after primary sponsor British American Tobacco withdrew from the event. The Cyprus Rally was added to the calendar as a replacement.[1]
