Jota Sport, and drivers Filipe Albuquerque, Simon Dolan and Harry Tincknell led the standings into the final race at Estoril, having won previously at the Red Bull Ring. However, it was Greaves Motorsport with the triumvirate of Gary Hirsch, Jon Lancaster and Björn Wirdheim who won the championship title; after winning at Silverstone,Edd Straw http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/118468 Lancaster wins for Greaves after late collision Autosport Haymarket Publications 11 April 2015 16 November 2015 and Le Castellet, the trio finished second to Thiriet by TDS Racing in Estoril to secure the title by two points.http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/121398 Greaves' Wirdheim, Lancaster and Hirsch win title Autosport Haymarket Publications 18 October 2015 16 November 2015 Thiriet by TDS Racing's victory in Portugal – the team's second after a previous win at Imola – also allowed them to move ahead of Jota Sport in the teams' standings, with Ludovic Badey and Pierre Thiriet finishing as runners-up in the drivers' championship standings. Badey and Thiriet's victories were shared with Tristan Gommendy at Imola and Nicolas Lapierre at Estoril. In the new-for-2015 LMP3 class, Lawrence Tomlinson's Team LNT outfit won four of the five races during the season; three of which were won by former cyclist Chris Hoy and his teammate Charlie Robertson as they won the championship title with a round to spare.http://www.dailysportscar.com/2015/09/06/elms-paul-ricard-robertson-hoy-team-lnt-take-the-win-and-the-first-lmp3-title.html Paul Ricard, Robertson, Hoy & Team LNT Take The Win & The First LMP3 Title 6 September 2015 16 November 2015 Dailysportscar.com Amvrin Hoy and Robertson finished 35 points clear of another Team LNT driver Gaëtan Paletou, who won the final race of the season with Mike Simpson at Estoril. Third place in the championship went to SVK by Speed Factory, and their drivers Konstantīns Calko and Dainius Matijošaitis. LNT's only defeat during the season occurred at Imola, when Morten Dons and Rob Garofall won for the University of Bolton team. Successive victories at the Red Bull Ring and Le Castellet allowed the Formula Racing team with drivers Johnny Laursen, Mikkel Mac and Andrea Rizzoli to clinch their respective LMGTE championship titles. They won the championship by four points from the BMW Sports Trophy Marc VDS outfit of Henry Hassid, Jesse Krohn and Andy Priaulx, who were the race winners at Estoril. Third place in the championship went to the AF Corse team of Duncan Cameron, Matt Griffin and Aaron Scott. Two other teams won races during the season; Gulf Racing UK won on home soil at Silverstone with an all-British crew of Adam Carroll, Phil Keen and Michael Wainwright, while AT Racing won at Imola with the father-and-son crew of Alexander Talkanitsa Jr. and Alexander Talkanitsa Sr. along with Alessandro Pier Guidi. While in GTC, TDS Racing finished 20 points clear of their closest rivals to take the respective titles in the class. The all-French crew of Eric Dermont, Dino Lunardi and Franck Perera won two races at Silverstone and at Le Castellet, and sealed the title with second at Estoril. Second place in the championship went to another crew that won two races during the season; Francesco Castellacci and Stuart Hall won successive races at Imola and the Red Bull Ring for AF Corse, sharing victories with Rino Mastronardi (Imola) and Thomas Flohr (Red Bull Ring). Another AF Corse crew finished in third in the drivers' championship, as Francisco Guedes and Mads Rasmussen were able to fend off Marco Cioci, Ilya Melnikov and Giorgio Roda for the position despite the latter trio winning the final race at Estoril. Regulations The 2015 season saw the introduction of the new LMP3 class, which was announced by the ACO during the 2014 season.http://www.europeanlemansseries.com/en/s03_actualites/s03p02_detail_actualite.php?news=3019 ACO Press Conference: Presentation of the new LMP3 category 19 July 2014 Automobile Club de l'Ouest europeanlemansseries.com 7 January 2015 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20150101161101/http://www.europeanlemansseries.com/en/s03_actualites/s03p02_detail_actualite.php?news=3019 1 January 2015 The aim of the new class was to introduce young drivers and teams to endurance racing before they progressed to the higher classes of prototype racing, LMP2 and ultimately LMP1. The chassis, which could be built by any constructor, was powered by a 5-litre normally-aspirated V8 Nissan VK50 engine, producing 420hp.http://www.europeanlemansseries.com/en/s03_actualites/s03p02_detail_actualite.php?news=3157 LM P3 Nissan official engine supplier! 18 September 2014 Automobile Club de l'Ouest europeanlemansseries.com 7 January 2015 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20141008064631/http://www.europeanlemansseries.com/en/s03_actualites/s03p02_detail_actualite.php?news=3157 8 October 2014 Gearboxes were provided by Xtrac.
