Le Mans Prototypes
Le Mans Prototypes are either open or closed cockpit cars with no production minimum required. Generally produced specially for the 24 Hours du Mans, but also for FIA WEC Endurance Championship / ELMS / ALMS races, these cars are developed exclusively for on-track competitions, fulfilling the requirements of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest technical regulations. Because of their performances and level of technological development, they have a star status within Endurance Racing.
Prototypes are divided into two categories :
LMP1 - destined more to Manufacturers
LMP2 - destined only to teams independent of manufacturers and/or engine suppliers.

Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance
The "Le Mans" Grand Touring Endurance car is a car having an aptitude for sport with 2 doors, 2 or 2+2 seats, opened or closed, which can be used perfectly legally on the open road and available for sale thanks to the dealer network of a manufacturer recognised by the Endurance Committee.
A car will be permitted to compete as soon as a minimum of 100 road cars for the "Big Manufacturers"** and 25 road cars for the "Small Manufacturers"** will be produced.
This category includes two groups :
LM GTE-Pro: destined more to professional drivers
LM GTE-Am: destined only to amateur drivers
** Big Manufacturers are companies that produce more than 2000 cars in one year. Small Manufacturers are those that produce less than 2000 cars in one year.
