2000 Silverstone 500 USA Challenge

The 2000 Silverstone 500 USA Challenge was the third round of the 2000 American Le Mans Series season. It took place at Silverstone Circuit, United Kingdom, on May 13, 2000.

Silverstone Circuit

This event was the first American Le Mans Series race held outside of North America. It served as a precursor to the creation of the European Le Mans Series by gauging the willingness of European teams from the FIA Sportscar Championship and FIA GT Championship to participate in a series identical to the American Le Mans Series. This event also shared the weekend at Silverstone with an FIA GT round, with some GT teams running both events.

gollark: Kubernetes seems hilariously overcomplicated and æ.
gollark: I go for directly running stuff. At some point I investigated elegantly™ having all my stuff dockerized and with docker compose files/config in a repository, but gave up on this.
gollark: This is not at all going to go horribly wrong at some point.
gollark: My entire storage setup is the now-probably-11-years-or-so-old 1TB disk in my server, various random external ones I do backups to, and the tiny SSD in my laptop.
gollark: Aren't the big ones SMR or something?
