2016 European Le Mans Series

The 2016 European Le Mans Series was the thirteenth 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 16 April and finished at Autódromo do Estoril on 23 October.[1]

Regulations

The GTC class for GT3 was dropped due to a lack of entries during 2015 and the creation of the GT3 Le Mans Cup.[2]

Calendar

The provisional 2016 calendar was announced at 5 September 2015. The calendar comprises six events, featuring the same five circuits that hosted events in 2015 and for the first time since 2011 it will include event at Spa. For the fourth consecutive season, Silverstone hosted the opening rounds of both the European Le Mans Series and the FIA World Endurance Championship. Meanwhile, the other rounds were collaboration with World Series by Renault.[1]
