The 2017 European Le Mans Series season was the fourteenth season of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's (ACO) European Le Mans Series. The six-event season began at Silverstone Circuit, in conjunction with the FIA World Endurance Championship, on 15 April, and ended at Algarve International Circuit on 22 October. ^[1]

Regulations

The 2017 season saw new regulations regarding the LMP2 class introduced. ^[2] Teams were able to choose from four different chassis constructors: Dallara, Onroak Automotive (Ligier), Oreca and a joint venture between Riley Technologies/Multimatic. Gibson Technology was the exclusive engine supplier for the class, with all cars equipped with a 4.2-litre, normally-aspirated V8 engine, producing approximately 600hp. Cosworth Electronics was also the exclusive electronics supplier.

The aim of the new regulations was to ensure long-term success for the category with a reduction in costs and the guarantee of stable regulations. ^[2]

Calendar

The 2017 calendar was announced on 23 September 2016. The calendar comprised six events, featuring the same four circuits that hosted events in 2016. For the first time since 2008 and 2010, it included events at Monza and Algarve, respectively, which were stand-alone events. For the fifth consecutive season, Silverstone hosted the opening rounds of both the European Le Mans Series and the FIA World Endurance Championship. ^[1]

To be classified, a car had to cross the finish line on the racetrack when the chequered flag was shown, except in a case of force majeure at the Stewards' discretion, and must have covered at least 70% (the official number of laps would be rounded down to the nearest whole number) of the distance covered by the car classified in first place in the overall classification. ^[34]
