The 2017 Le Mans Cup, known as the 2017 Michelin Le Mans Cup under sponsorship, was the second season of the Le Mans Cup . It began on 13 May at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza and finished on 21 October at the Algarve International Circuit . The series was open to Le Mans Prototypes in the LMP3 class, and grand tourer sports cars in the GT3 class.[ 1]
All races supported the 2017 European Le Mans Series except the Le Mans round, which was part of the 24 Hours of Le Mans weekend.[ 2] On 4 May, the ACO revealed that 45 entries would take part in the Road To Le Mans for 2017, up from 42 the previous year.[ 3]
