The 2022 Le Mans Cup , known as the 2022 Michelin Le Mans Cup under sponsorship, was the seventh season of the Le Mans Cup . It began on 16 April at the Circuit Paul Ricard and ended on 15 October at the Algarve International Circuit . The series is open to Le Mans Prototypes in the LMP3 class, and grand tourer sports cars in the GT3 class.[ 1]
Racing Spirit of Léman, Tom Dillman and Alexander Mattschull (left) won both LMP3 championships,
Reiter Engineering , Freddie Hunt and Mads Siljehaug (centre) finished second in both LMP3 standings and Nielsen Racing, Colin Noble and Anthony Wells (right) finished third in the championship.
GMB Motorsport, Kasper Jensen and
Kristian Poulsen (left) won both GT3s championships, other GMB Motorsport drivers Lars Engelbreckt Pedersen and #44 duo Gustav Birch and
Jens Reno Møller finished second and third respectively.
The hydrogen-electric H24 (pictured at Le Mans) made its competitive debut at Imola.
The 2022 calendar was unveiled on 17 September 2021.[ 2]
All cars in the LMP3 class used the 2020 spec Nissan VK56DE 5.6L V8 engine and Michelin tyres. The new-for-2022 race length of 1h 50m removes the need for the additional mandatory stop that was introduced in 2020 to mitigate unexpected higher fuel consumption.
