Le Castellet
Le Castellet will once again be the final test before Le Mans, with Round 2 on Saturday 1st May in the 2027 Michelin Le Mans Cup. The unique layout, with the long 1.8km Mistral Straight and the distinctive red and blue lines in the runoff areas, make this circuit immediately recognisable. In a change from the last two years, the chicane on the Mistral Straight will be removed in 2027 allowing the competitors to face the challenge of the full 1.8km straight for the first time since 2024. Le Castellet has been part of the Michelin Le Mans Cup since the first season in 2016. The Circuit Paul Ricard near Le Castellet in the South of France is the only circuit to host a round of the ELMS every year since 2013.
