Sports car racing series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2025–26 Asian Le Mans Series was the fourteenth season of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's Asian Le Mans Series. It was the fourth 24 Hours of Le Mans-based series created by the ACO, following the American Le Mans Series (since merged with the Rolex Sports Car Series to form the IMSA SportsCar Championship), the European Le Mans Series and the FIA World Endurance Championship. The six-event season began at the Sepang International Circuit in Sepang on 12 December 2025 and concluded at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi on 8 February 2026.[1] This season marked the debut of the new, third-generation LMP3 cars in this series.[2]

Notes
- The No. 45 PONOS Racing entry was run by K2 R&D at rounds 1–2 and United Autosports at rounds 3–6.[14]
- Stolyarov and Salikhov are Russian, but they compete as Armenian licenses as Russian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Lomko, Bukhantsov, Mukovoz and Nesov, also Russians, compete under Grenadian, Kittitian, Emirati and Slovene licences respectively for the same reason.[27]
- Ibrahim Badawy, Henry Cubides Olarte, Aditya Patel, Isaac Barashi, Zack Scoular, and Theo Micouris did not fulfil their mandated minimum drive time during race 2 of the 4 Hours of Abu Dhabi, meaning that they did not receive points for that event.
- Henry Cubides Olarte and Léna Bühler did not fulfil their mandated minimum drive time during race 2 of the 4 Hours of Dubai, meaning that they did not receive points for that event.
- Vic Stevens and Hugo Schwarze did not fulfil their mandated minimum drive time during race 1 of the 4 Hours of Sepang, meaning that they did not receive points for that event.
- Dan Harper and Klaus Bachler did not fulfil their mandated minimum drive time during race 2 of the 4 Hours of Abu Dhabi, meaning that they did not receive points for that event.
