The Le Mans 24-Hours’ historical richness makes the race one of the greatest challenges in motor sport. Since 1923, the major manufacturers have all tackled the mythic Sarthe event that has no equal in the world.
Following in the footsteps of the Le Mans 24 Hours, which has resulted in multiple technical innovations, endurance racing is entering a period of growth with several championships showcasing its success: in Europe, the "Le Mans Series", in North America, the "American Le Mans Series" and in Asia, the "Asian Le Mans Series".
This type of racing is attracting more and more teams and drivers, and to meet this increasing demand the Automobile Club de l’Ouest has launching the LMP3 from 2015. This championship will provide an ideal springboard for drivers to discover endurance racing, and prepare for an entry in the top category in the future.
