The European Le Mans Series (previously known as the Le Mans Endurance Series, 2004-2006, and the Le Mans Series, 2007-2011) is the European endurance racing championship. This is where cars from the LMP2, LMP3 and LMGTE categories compete on some of Europe’s finest circuits including the Le Castellet, Imola, Hungaroring, Barcelona, Spa-Francorchamps and Portimäo.

The ELMS paddock is home to the kind of professionalism that is typical to high level endurance racing. The championship proposes an accessible family-oriented environment for teams, drivers and fans alike. It is the logical testing ground for teams with the ambition of going on to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). The LMP2 and LMGTE category champions and vice-champions, along with the LMP3 winner, are given the chance to race in the Le Mans 24 Hours, which adds extra spice to the competition in these categories.
