Euro STC
In 2000 the championship was promoted by the FIA to act as the European Supertouring Cup. Despite the international name a vast majority of the events were still held on Italian tracks and many of the drivers were of Italian origin. Giovanardi and Alfa Romeo would win in 2000 ahead of Peter Kox and Gianni Morbidelli. 2001 saw Giovanardi and Alfa come out on top yet again, this time with team-mate Nicola Larini on second place. 2001 was the last year with the Supertouring regulations. FIA and Eurosport worked together with manufacturers Alfa Romeo and BMW to create the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC).
