Le Mans 2014 - The LM P1 class

The LM P1 class (Le Mans Prototype 1) has always represented a test bench for new technologies and is especially in 2014 through the implementation of the new technical regulations from the ACO and the FIA.

Until 2013, an LM P1 car was an open or closed car with no production minimum required. It is now a closed car only.

Moreover, there was only one LM P1 class before 2014. It has now been split into two parts:

  • Le Mans Prototype 1 Light (LM P1-L): with no energy recovery system and reserved only for privateers;
  • Le Mans Prototype 1 Hybrid (LM P1-H): with mandatory energy recovery system which feeds back the energy harvested.

Minimum weight (with no driver and no fuel onboard):
