I remember following 2000 season very closely once Gronholm emerged from nowhere as a title contender. Remember that Burns was miles ahead in the points standings early in the year, and Peugeot didn't hit their stride until much later.
The moment I remember best was waiting for the stage times to come through for the final superspecial in Australia, with Burns and Gronholm virtually tied for second place. Burns put in a very quick time, with Gronholm to follow. Whoever came out on top would take the championship lead into the final event in GB.
As you all know, Gronholm turned in a spectacular superspecial time, and ended up the outright winner when Makinen was DQed for an illegal turbo.
I never really liked Burns and was rooting for the dark horse, so it was a pretty exciting moment.
