2010 American Le Mans Series

40th season of the racing series organized by IMSA February 2025 2010 American Le Mans Series 2009 2011 The 2010 American Le Mans Series season was the 40th overall season for the IMSA GT Championship, and the twelfth as the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón. It was also the first season in which the ALMS used a revised structure for its four classes, as well as the first year in a three-year sponsorship deal with Patrón. http://www.americanlemans.com/primary1.php?cat=news%7C14450 Simply Perfect: Series announces Tequila Patron as Presenting Sponsor American Le Mans Series 2010-02-23 2010-10-15 The season began with the 12 Hours of Sebring on March 20 and ended with the Petit Le Mans on October 2, completing nine total races. The senior class, LMP, the new combination class of the old LMP1 and LMP2 classes, saw defending LMP1 champions Patrón Highcroft Racing with defending champion driver David Brabham and new teammate Simon Pagenaud took a 23-point victory in their Honda over Porsche driver Klaus Graf. The other carry over category GT (the former GT2 class) Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche duo of Patrick Long and Jörg Bergmeister successfully defended their class championship over Risi Competizione Ferrari driver Gianmaria Bruni. There was no GT1 category left in the series. In the two spec-racer classes Scott Tucker of Level 5 Motorsports was the dominant driver in the LMP Challenge class, winning five of the nine races in the class' first full season. After debuting for half of the 2009 season, the new GT Challenge class saw the Black Swan Racing Porsche of Jeroen Bleekemolen and Tim Pappas claim the class victory. Schedule The 2010 American Le Mans Series season features nine events, dropping the St. Petersburg round from 2009. Laguna Seca will no longer end the season but is instead moved to May and has been extended from four hours to six hours; this will allow the Petit Le Mans to conclude the season. The Utah Grand Prix at Miller Motorsports Park has also had its date pushed back to July due to the move by Laguna Seca. http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/alms-2010-schedule-announced/ 2010 Schedule Announced SpeedTV.com Speed 2009-09-25 2009-09-25 https://web.archive.org/web/20090928010644/http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/alms-2010-schedule-announced/ 2009-09-28 dead The Petit Le Mans will also form part of the inaugural Intercontinental Le Mans Cup for LMP1s.http://www.racecar-engineering.com/news/cars/434855/le-mans-intercontinental-cup-launched.html Le Mans Intercontinental Cup launched Racecar Engineering IPC Media 2009-12-11 Sam Collins 2010-10-24September 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes Rnd Race Length Circuit Location Date – American Le Mans Series Winter Test Sebring International Raceway Sebring, Florida February 22–23 1 58th Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring 12 Hours Sebring International Raceway Sebring, Florida March 20 2 Tequila Patrón American Le Mans Series at Long Beach 1 Hour 40 Minutes Long Beach Street Circuit Long Beach, California April 17 3 American Le Mans Series Monterey 6 Hours Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Monterey, California May 22 4 Larry H.

Several previous classes will be retained, while some new classes will be added. Le Mans Prototypes, which previously ran in the LMP1 and LMP2 categories, will be combined into a single LMP category for much of the season.http://www.americanlemans.com/primary1.php?cat=news%7C13593 Series Announces Revised Class Structure for 2010 americanlemans.com American Le Mans Series 2009-08-16 2010-10-15 IMSA will modify the LMP1 and LMP2 rules through performance balancing in order to allow the two to compete equally in the new single category. http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/alms-atherton-speaks-out-on-new-class-structure/ Atherton Speaks on New Class Structure SpeedTV.com Speed John Dagys 2009-08-17 2009-08-19 https://web.archive.org/web/20090820035221/http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/alms-atherton-speaks-out-on-new-class-structure/ 2009-08-20 dead However, the 12 Hours of Sebring and Petit Le Mans endurance races will not use this unified class, instead reverting to the 2009 regulations as used by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The championship points payout for these two events have yet to be determined by IMSA. A new Le Mans Prototype category will be established as a feeder system for young or amateur drivers. This category, known as Le Mans Prototype Challenge (LMPC), will borrow from the Formula Le Mans Cup series in Europe by utilizing a spec racing format. All teams will use Oreca FLM09 chassis, Chevrolet production V8s, and other standardized equipment. Along with the European Le Mans Series' (2010 season) Formula Le Mans, the ALMS LMPC makes up as its own class in the races throughout the season rather than racing as a support series. With a lack of competitors in the former GT1 category, GT2 has been renamed to just GT and will be the premiere category for grand tourers in ALMS in 2010. The ALMS Challenge category, first established in 2009, will be expanded in 2010 and renamed as GT Challenge (GTC). The category will race for the full season for the first time. Porsche 911 GT3s from racing series other than the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge will also be accepted for the first time.
