8th running of the British sportscar GT Championship
The 2000 Privilege Insurance British GT Championship was the eighth season of the British GT Championship , an auto racing series organised by the British Racing Drivers Club (BRDC) and sponsored by Privilege . The races featured grand touring cars conforming to two categories of regulations known as GT and GTO, and awarded a driver championship in each category. The season began on 25 March 2000 and ended on 8 October 2000 after eleven events, eleven held in Great Britain with one race in Belgium. The series was joined by the BRDC Marcos Mantis Challenge Cup for a few rounds.
All races were 60 minutes in duration, although the final round at Silverstone ran for 54 minutes before it was red-flagged due to heavy rain.
