TheLe Mans Cup, previously theGT3 Le Mans Cup and currently known as theMichelin Le Mans Cup under sponsorship, is an internationalsports car racing endurance series inspired by the24 Hours of Le Mans race and organized by theAutomobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO).
The GT3 Le Mans Cup was created in 2016 after theGTC category was dropped from theEuropean Le Mans Series. The new tournament was designed primarily to increase the number of amateur drivers.[1][2][3] The teams' champion automatically receives an invitation to take part in the following24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMGTE Am category.[4]
From the2017 season, the series adopted a new format with LMP3 and GT3-class cars competing in their respective categories, with the ACO aiming to create a secondary division of LMP3-racing and promoting the best teams from the Le Mans Cup to the European Le Mans Series.[5]
A new LMP3 specification with higher power engines was introduced for the2020 season; this was found to consume more fuel than predicted, forcing pit stop and stint time rule changes.
The Le Mans weekend originally had a one-hour format in 2017, and has had two 55-minute races every year since 2018. The remaining races originally had a two-hour format, later shortened to 1h 50min for the 2022 season, to enable removal of this second mandatory pit stop.
Starting in the 2025 Le Mans Cup Season, the LMP3 Class will be split into two with the introduction of LMP3 Pro-Am as well as newACO Generation III LMP3 Built cars will be eligible for the category such as theGinetta G61-LT-P3 Evo,Ligier JS P325,Duqueine D09, and theADESS AD25 all of which use aV35A 3.5LToyota V6 twin turbo engine andMichelin tyres.
