2025–26 Asian Le Mans Series

The 2025–26 Asian Le Mans Series will be the fourteenth season of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's Asian Le Mans Series. It is the fourth 24 Hours of Le Mans-based series created by the ACO, following the American Le Mans Series (since merged with the Rolex Sports Car Series to form the IMSA SportsCar Championship), the European Le Mans Series and the FIA World Endurance Championship. The six-event season will begin at the Sepang International Circuit in Sepang on 12 December 2025 and will conclude at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi on 8 February 2026.[1] This season will mark the debut of the new, third-generation LMP3 cars in this series.[2]

Calendar

The calendar for the 2025–26 season was announced on the official website 19 March 2025. The first two races will be held at the Sepang International Circuit in December 2025, before moving to United Arab Emirates at the Dubai Autodrome in Dubai and Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi in February 2026.[1]

The season comprises six four-hour length races, run on the three circuits.

Notes

  1. ^ a b Lomko is Russian, but he competes under a Grenadian licence as Russian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Bukhantsov, also a Russian, competes under a Kittitian licence for the same reason.
