For speed, technology and road-course action, nothing compares to the exciting racing of the American LeMans Series.

The American Le Mans Series is a series of North American sports car races based on the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world’s most famous endurance race. American Le Mans Series races feature four classes of race cars competing for class wins and the overall win, with the fields including many of the same drivers and cars that compete at Le Mans.

The series holds events at many of North America’s premier permanent road racing facilities as well as at temporary circuits in key major markets.

The series motto is “For the Fans” and all events feature driver autograph sessions and open paddocks. All events are on television in the United States. Marquee drivers include Ron Fellows, Boris Said, Bryan Herta, Max Papis and Stephan Gregoire.

Well-known automotive brand names such as Audi, Bentley, Corvette, Dodge, Ferrari, Lamborghini, MG, Nissan, Panoz, Porsche and Saleen are represented on the series. The series, which has its headquarters in Braselton, Ga., was founded in 1999 by entrepreneur Don Panoz and is sanctioned by the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA).
