4 Hours of Le Castellet
The 2026 4 Hours of Le Castellet will be the 15th ELMS race held at the Circuit Paul Ricard since 2013. The circuit in southern France ranks among motorsport's legendary venues and presents diverse racing challenges to competitors. Opened in April 1970, the facility set new standards in track design for the era and as a permanent racing circuit with kerbs and run-off zones offered significantly more safety than the typical public-road courses of that period. The race serves as the second round of the season following the Barcelona opener and precedes the championship's break to accommodate the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
