Le Mans Series

Le Mans Racing magazine has launched a digital English edition as it seeks to capitlaise on the recent popularity boom in endurance competition. 

The new European Le Mans Series campaign kicked off at Paul Ricard on Sunday, but fears that the championship will not see the end of the season quickly emerged as round two at Zolder was cancelled.

Irish sportscar squad Murphy Prototypes have confirmed that Warren Hughes and Jody Firth will lead their European Le Mans Series assault in 2012.

Spaniard Lucas Ordonez will contest the European Le Mans Series and the Le Mans 24 Hours for British outfit Greaves Motorsport.

Tom Kimber-Smith will remain with Greaves Motorsport next season but will not be able to defend his Le Mans 24 LMP2 class crown with the team.
