50 cars at the start of Road To Le Mans
With nearly 50 cars expected on track, the Road To starting grid Le Mans 2022 is well stocked. With two races scheduled for Thursday June 9 and Saturday June 11, the spectacle promises on the Sarthe circuit. These two events will count towards the Michelin Le Mans Cup championship, with 32 points up for grabs at the end.
36 LMP3s, 13 GT3s and a hydrogen car
The LMP3 category will obviously be the most represented at Road To Le Mans, with nearly 36 cars, including 32 entered for the full Michelin Le Mans Cup season. The championship leaders, Malthe Jakobsen and Maurice Smith (Ligier Cool Racing) will be the scarecrow at the third meeting of the 2022 season.

The GT3 category will have 13 cars on track. Six additional cars will appear on the starting grid, in addition to those already entered for the full Michelin Le Mans Cup season.
