The 2000 Speedway Grand Prix Qualification or GP Challenge was a series of motorcycle speedway meetings used to determine the 12 riders that would qualify for the 2000 Speedway Grand Prix[1] to join the other 10 riders that finished in the leading positions from the 1999 Speedway Grand Prix.[2]
The format changed from the previous year, in that only 2 riders would qualify straight from the Intercontinental and Continental finals and 10 riders would qualify through the GP Challenge.
Billy Hamill won the GP Challenge.[3]
