The 2024 European Le Mans Series will be the twenty-first season of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's (ACO) European Le Mans Series. The six-event season will begin at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on 14 April and will finish at Algarve International Circuit on 19 October.[1][2]

The series is open to Le Mans Prototypes, divided into the LMP2 and LMP3 classes, and grand tourer-style racing cars in the new LMGT3 class. The season will be the first for the LMGT3 class, replacing LMGTE.

Calendar

The provisional calendar for the 2024 season was announced on 12 September 2023. Mugello Circuit was added to the calendar for the first time, replacing the round at MotorLand Aragón, and the Imola Circuit round returned after being cancelled the previous year.[1][2]
