With the European Le Mans Series and Michelin Le Mans season now complete the list of titles and Championship results decided that attract automatic entries to the 2021, Le Mans 24 Hours has now grown to eight.
Remarkably four of the eight have gone to the same team, United Autosports, who have now completed a unique sweep of Le Mans 24 Hours and FIA WEC LMP2 class wins (the Le Mans win attracts an auto entry), plus Championship winners and runners up in the ELMS LMP2 class (both of which attract auto entries), and the ELMS LMP3 title which attracts yet another auto entry.
Whilst no decisions have yet been taken on how many of those entries will actually be sought by United it’s very clear that they are not committing to just two just yet!
Also already confirmed is the entry for TF Sport thanks to their win in the GTE Am class at Le Mans, another entry that is highly likely to be taken up!
The Michelin Le Mans Cup sees Iron Lynx earn an entry too after their win in the GT3 class, the LMP3 class and overall does not bring an automatic entry, the winning team there (DKR) effectively grant a confirmed entry in the ELMS in 2021.
That leaves the first and second-placed GTE class teams in the ELMS Championship results to be added to the roll of honour with Proton Competition and Kessel Racing earning their auto entries with a Championship result that simply could not have been closer!
In a change for 2021, the winners overall and GTE Pro winners from the 2020 Le Mans 24 Hours do not revive an auto entry.
The automatic invitations are subject to confirmation by the ACO and are predicted in any case by the qualifying teams entering a relevant car for a full season in a qualifying Championship (ACO/ LMEM organised and/ or IMSA.
Further entries will be awarded for success in the 2020/21 Asian Le Mans Series and with a pair of entries to be awarded via IMSA.
