2001 European Le Mans Series season
Encyclopedia
The 2001 European Le Mans Series
season was the only season for the IMSA
European Le Mans Series. It is a series for Le Mans Prototype
s (LMP) and Grand Touring (GT) race cars divided into 4 classes: LMP900, LMP675, GTS, and GT. It began March 17, 2001 and ended October 6, 2001 after 7 races.
The series came about following the expansion of Don Panoz
's American Le Mans Series
to include European rounds in 2000. The ELMS become a separate series for 2001, although following the same IMSA
and ACO
rules that the ALMS followed, and even having shared events among the two series. Like the Petit Le Mans
for the ALMS, the 1000 km of Estoril was meant to be a unique event that would earn automatic entries to the 24 Hours of Le Mans
for its winners. Unfortunately a lack of interest from the European racing community, as well as competition from the FIA
's series, meant that this would be the only season of ELMS. Another planned series, known as Asian-Pacific Le Mans Series (APLMS) was planned to begin in late 2001, but never occurred.
Following the demise of the European Le Mans Series, the ACO would attempt to create another European-based sportscar series in 2003 with the more successful Le Mans Endurance Series
.
