2021 European Le Mans Series Calendar

The European Le Mans Series (ELMS) is the premier continental endurance racing championship in Europe, providing a direct gateway to the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. The series features a multi-class format where prototypes and grand tourers share the track simultaneously across grueling 4-hour races at iconic venues like Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone, and Barcelona. The championship is divided into four classes: the top-tier LMP2, the entry-level prototype LMP3, and the production-based LMGT3, alongside a dedicated LMP2 Pro-Am category. Governed by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), the ELMS emphasizes a blend of professional talent and ambitious amateur drivers, rewarding teams not only with championship titles but also with highly coveted automatic invitations to the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the top performers in each category.
