2000 American Le Mans Series

30th season of the racing series organized by IMSA

The 2000 American Le Mans Series was the second running of the IMSA American Le Mans Series, and overall the 30th season of an IMSA GT Championship, dating back to the 1971 edition. It was a series for Le Mans Prototypes (LMP) and Grand Touring (GT) race cars divided into 3 classes: LMP, GTS, and GT. It began March 18, 2000 and ended December 31, 2000 after 12 races.

This season was the first time that the ALMS held races outside of North America, with two events held in Europe and one in Australia. These events helped with the creation of the 2001 European Le Mans Series season, although it was short-lived. An Asian Le Mans Series was also discussed but not developed.

The LMP class champion was Allan McNish, the GTS champion was Olivier Beretta and the GT champion was Dirk Müller. Audi won the Manufacturers championship.

Schedule changes

The 2000 schedule greatly expanded from the previous season, adding not only three races outside North America, but an additional North American round as well. Silverstone Circuit and the Nürburgring were scheduled before and after the 24 Hours of Le Mans, while the Race of a Thousand Years in Australia was held long after the North American season ended. Road courses at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway replaced the previous year's Grand Prix of Atlanta at Road Atlanta. There were plans to have a 13th round held in Asia but this failed to materialize.

The San Diego Grand Prix which had initially been on the 1999 calendar before cancellation was once again planning on hosting a race at the former Naval Training Center, initially for November 7th, but then rescheduled to February 27, which would have made it the season opener. The race was once again cancelled and replaced by the Las Vegas Motor Speedway like the previous season. The San Diego Grand Prix would instead host the season finale of the Trans-Am Series.
