AUTOSPORT 1000 KM OF SILVERSTONE
GREAT BRITAIN, SEPTEMBER 10 -11- 12, 2010
Another Le Mans Series classic: the 1000 Km of Silverstone. Traditionally established as final race of the season, the 2010 edition will respect the rule. Held over 3 days, the British race is always one of all challenges for the teams and drivers, such as Jean Christophe Boullion in 2009, admired by all for his incredible comeback trying to win against all odds until the very last moment. The British soil witnesses these heroes' assaults.
THE TEAM PEUGEOT TOTAL 908 HDi FAP
The 2010 season is now over and the winners will party tonight to celebrate their titles. In the end, Team ORECA Matmut and Peugeot, as a car manufacturer, came away with everything, and Audi with nothing. Stephane Sarrazin started the 1,000Km of Silverstone as title favourite and duly ended it as champion for the second time.Nicolas Minassian and Anthony Davidson snatched a strong overall victory while Strakka Racing took a brilliant victory in the LMP2 class. Jody Firth and Warren Hughes brought a third trophy home this weekend thanks to FLM, and AF Corse Ferrari secured their second win of the season.Despite a few rain drops, the track has remained dry the whole race and no safety car period disturbed the course of the race.

1000 KM OF HUNGARORING
HUNGARY, AUGUST 21- 22, 2010
Another novelty for Le Mans Series: Hungary. The race, which will be held over two days, will be the season's second night race.
The Hungaroring circuit, 19 Km from Budapest, is nicknamed the "Turnstile". Measuring 4,381 Km, it is very narrow and winding. Built along a natural valley and flanking the hillsides, its natural implantation allows an 80% visibility of the circuit for practically all the spectators, wherever they may be. It will be a first for the teams who will discover during this nocturnal race, life... "by night" in Hungary!
STRAKKA RACING MAKES HISTORY
The twists and turns of the Hungaroring test cars and drivers to the absolute limit. With a high level of downforce, exceptionally low grip and high track temperatures, the 1,000Km of Hungaroring have been very demanding on drivers, teams and cars.Nobody could hold a candle to Strakka Racing's Danny Watts on Sunday morning's qualifying in Hungary, and the British team's overall victory made history with the very first overall victory for a LMP2 car in the Le Mans Series.

1000 KM OF SPA FRANCORCHAMPS
BELGIUM, MAY 7 -8- 9, 2010
This race is now a traditional meeting for all Endurance racing enthusiasts. Always held in May, it is the last race before the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The Belgian track, winding and hilly is a big challenge for the drivers but also for the machines and remains one of the favourite circuits of all motor sports lovers.
In front of the many enthusiastic spectators, the line-up for the start is often the biggest of the season. This year, the tradition of the Belgian race will no doubt be respected.
PEUGEOT WINS THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE
Sunday's Belgian race produced one of the most nail biting races in several seasons to date, mostly because of changing weather conditions, but also because of the tough fight between Audi and Peugeot factory teams.
THE TEAM PEUGEOT TOTAL 908 HDi FAP AT THE SPA
The pressure on Team Peugeot Total was massive going into the Spa weekend, and the team delivered in a style that suggests they still are highly competitive with a 1-2 victory.
The Team Peugeot Total trio of Pedro Lamy, Sebastien Bourdais and Simon Pagenaud scored an outright win in the second round of the 2010 Le Mans Series, taking the team's 908 HDi FAP from pole to checkered flag victory, for the great pleasure of 38,000 race fans.

8 HOURS OF THE CASTELLET - PAUL RICARD CIRCUIT
FRANCE, APRIL 9 -10- 11, 2010
The first race of the 2010 Le Mans Series season will be held on the Castellet circuit, in the south of France, on 9, 10 and 11 April. This circuit, both ultra modern and firmly rooted in the history of motor sports which has just reopened its doors to the public, has welcomed the Official Tests of the Series since 2004 and will do so again in 2010 on 7 and 8 March.
For an exceptional race, an exceptional format! The opening of the season will not be done with the usual 1000 Km schema (or 6 hours), but will last 8 hours with a late morning start and an arrival at sunset around 7pm.
THE NEW AUDI R15 PLUS MAKES AN OVERWHELMING DEBUT!
The Audi R15 TDI, model year 2010 (internally labeled "R15 plus") has won its race debut at Le Castellet (France) and in doing so left a strong impression.
THE AUDI R15 PLUS ON FRONT ROW ON ITS DEBUT
Aston Martin Racing ranks second with its Aston Martin Lola 009; while Jean-Christophe Boullion revives victory thanks to the Rebellion Racing team's Lola B01/60 Coupe Rebellion. In LMP2, until the last minute, victory was uncertain after a race essentially leaded by the OAK Racing team. In GT2, the local hero and former F1 driver Jean Alesi, in association with Giancarlo Fisichella and Toni Vilander, is on the podium as his first race in Le Mans Series!
