Le Mans Cup

The Le Mans Cup is a European sports car racing series that features endurance races primarily for LMP3 prototype cars and GT3-specification grand tourer vehicles. Established to provide a competitive platform for emerging teams and drivers, the series supports the European Le Mans Series and the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans event. Races typically last around one hour and 50 minutes, combining sprint and endurance racing elements. The championship is organized under the auspices of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), the same body responsible for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The series attracts a mix of professional and amateur drivers competing in multi-class fields, emphasizing close competition and development within endurance racing disciplines. The Le Mans Cup serves as a stepping stone for teams and drivers aiming to progress to higher levels of endurance racing, including the European Le Mans Series and the FIA World Endurance Championship.
