Remaining Races Of European LeMans Series Cancelled - Teams Invited To US To Finish Season

In the second bombshell to be dropped from a sports car racing series organizer this week, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest and Peter Auto announced Friday that it has canceled the two remaining European rounds scheduled for this season.

Following continued struggles of reaching an acceptable grid size, the ELMS has pulled the plug on the races at Brno (Sept. 7-9) and Algarve (Nov. 2-4) and has instead reached an agreement with the American Le Mans Series to invite its full-season competitors to the Petit Le Mans in October.

It's believed up to 14 ELMS teams, that were registered for the full-season, will receive transportation assistance for the 1,000-mile/10-hour enduro at Road Atlanta, where they’ll join an expected field of up to 40 ALMS cars taking part in its season finale.
