Since the launch of the Le Mans Cup in 2016 Michelin has been the title partner and the partnership between the championship and the French tyre manufacturer has seen the series successfully grow to grids of 40 plus in the nine seasons held so far.
Michelin and Le Mans Cup have reached a multi-year agreement for this successful partnership to continue, with all competitors in both LMP3 and GT3 continuing to use Michelin tyres.
Frédéric Lequien, Le Mans Endurance Management (LMEM) CEO:“We are very happy to announce the continuation of the partnership with Michelin for the title partner of the Le Mans Cup and it is very satisfying to have a partner which fully understands every level of endurance racing. The series has become a huge success since the first season in 2016, providing the first step on the ladder for drivers and teams wanting to gain experience in a multi class series on some of the best circuits in Europe, including the full 13.6km track at Le Mans. I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone at Michelin for their continued support and we look forward to many more years of first class racing in the Michelin Le Mans Cup.”
Julien Vial, Michelin Customer Racing Director:"Michelin is delighted to extend its involvement in the Michelin Le Mans Cup as the title sponsor, which is also an important sign of trust from LMEM. For Michelin, endurance racing is an ideal arena in which to express its customer racing strategy and we are fully satisfied with this championship, which has been the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's gateway to the world of endurance racing since it was founded in 2016. The drivers and teams particularly appreciate the Michelin tires in our customer competition range, and we are proud that their qualities and longevity are recognized. As the technical tire partner of the Michelin Le Mans Cup, we will also continue to support the drivers with our advice and provide them with the service they need to optimize their performance on track".
