  Le Mans Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is similar to the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) based in the United States and Canada that has been running with ACO backing since 1999, but is run by IMSA.
The series would also be European based instead of international, thus it could be closer to the factories of a large number of sportscar teams to help attract them to the series.
The series was initially previewed in an open race run under the LMES banner in 2003 at the 1000km of Le Mans, a one-off event before the season started in 2004.
