Rules

The race cars have the FIA regulations of Group A and shall be equipped with an additional kit Super 2000. The standard vehicle has to be produced at least 2,500 times in identical units. Electronic driver aids such as ABS and ESP are not admitted.

Also required is a 2000 cc aspirated engine with speed limitation: four-cylinder with a maximum of 8500 revolutions per minute, five-cylinder and six-cylinder with maximum 8750/min 9000/min. Alternatively, the FIA Super applies 2000D Regulations, which allow a 2000 cc turbo diesel engine. Since 2011 fall under the Super 2000 regulations also 1600 cc turbocharged petrol engines with direct injection, which were known as World Engine. The speed of these engines was limited to 8500 rpm. Restricted by a restrictor having a diameter of 33 mm, the motor output is about 220 kW.

Touring car

It is required a minimum weight for front-wheel drive vehicles of 1140 kg for rear-wheel drive, there are at least 1170 kg. Wheel-drive vehicles are not permitted.

The regulations were developed for the 2002 European Touring Car Championship season. It was developed as a successor of the Super Touring Car regulations. Derived from 2001 it was newly introduced rules of the BTCC. The Super 2000 regulations were first BMW was a rejection, because unlike the Super Production regulations, which for the most part the use of standard parts dictates the Super 2000 regulations allow more design freedom. The development and vehicle costs were too high BMW. It was planned, therefore, in the ETCC only the field of the Super 2000 cars with Super Production cars fill (SPC). But then made the FIA BMW a few concessions: including a conventional H- gear as opposed to sequential gearbox was prescribed. However, these transmissions were allowed again in 2003. For Volvo and Prodrive, who were at that time very far with the development of the new Volvo S60, was partly to start all over again. They had, for example, extra- develop an H - gear for the 2002 season.

Rally cars

Unlike the touring car, the Super 2000 regulations prescribes a uniform all-wheel drive without active differentials with the rally cars. The Super 2000 rally cars until end of season 2010 only 2.0 liter suction petrol engines were allowed, which form the class A2 in the World Rally Championship. Since 2011 fall under the Super 2000 regulations also 1600 cc turbo petrol engines, which are classified by the FIA ​​in the class A1.

World Rally Car

Since 2011, the World Rally Cars are also based on the Super 2000 regulations with 1600 cc engines but with an additional aerodynamic package. These form the class A0 in the World Rally Championship. The inside of the S2000 and WRC is almost identical. The biggest difference is in the aerodynamic package, which includes a different front bumper and a large rear wing thing of which the World Rally Car is visually recognizable. For the first WRC S2000 a vehicle must be homologated, which is then upgraded with a WRC kit. Compared to the Super 2000 vehicles of category A1 WRC (A0) have lighter side windows and the engine differs only by a lighter flywheel to 500 grams and consequently has a different programmed engine management. The restrictor there is no difference to the super - 2000 (A1) engines.
