2017 European Le Mans Series

The 2017 European Le Mans Series season was the fourteenth season of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's (ACO) European Le Mans Series. The six-event season began at Silverstone Circuit, in conjunction with the FIA World Endurance Championship, on 15 April and ended at Algarve International Circuit on 22 October.^[1]

Regulations[edit]

The 2017 season sees new regulations regarding the LMP2 class introduced.^[2] Teams are able to choose from four different chassis constructors: Dallara, Onroak Automotive (Ligier), Oreca and a joint-venture between Riley Technologies/Multimatic. Gibson Technology is the exclusive engine supplier for the class, with all cars equipped with a 4.2-litre, normally-aspirated V8 engine, producing approximately 600hp. Cosworth Electronics is also the exclusive electronics supplier.

The aim of the new regulations is to ensure long-term success for the category with a reduction in costs and the guarantee of stable regulations.^[2]

Provisional calendar[edit]

The provisional 2017 calendar was announced at 23 September 2016. The calendar comprises six events, featuring the same four circuits that hosted events in 2016 and for the first time since 2008 and 2010 it included events at Monza and Algarve respectively, which are stand-alone events. For the fifth consecutive season, Silverstone hosts the opening rounds of both the European Le Mans Series and the FIA World Endurance Championship. While other rounds are collaboration with 2017 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0.^[1]
