The ELMS will travel to Barcelona in 2019

THEELMS will visit Catalonia in 2019. The return of the Barcelona – Montmelo route to the calendar of the ACO-labelled European endurance series constitutes the main change made by the governing bodies for the next continental campaign.

If Paul-Ricard, Monza, Silverstone (on the sidelines of the WEC), Spa and Portimão (the latter however remains to be confirmed) will be renewed in 2019, the Catalan capital will host from July 19 to 21 the third round of the next ELMS season, instead of the Red Bull Ring, visited this year.

Except at Silverstone, the ELMS will once again be supported by Michelin Le Mans Cup, which will retain its flagship Road to Le Mans race alongside the 24 Hours (June 13-15).

ELMS 2019 Calendar:

April 8-9: Collective tests – Paul Ricard
April 12-14: 4 Hours of Le Castellet
May 10-12: 4 Hours of Monza
July 19-21: 4 Hours of Barcelona
August 30-31: 4 Hours of Silverstone
September 20-22: 4 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps
October 25-27: 4 Hours of Portimão
