The 2020 Le Mans Cup, known as the 2020 Michelin Le Mans Cup under sponsorship, was the fifth season of the Le Mans Cup. It began on 18 July at the Circuit Paul Ricard and finished on 1 November at Algarve International Circuit. The series was open to Le Mans Prototypes in the LMP3 class, and grand tourer sports cars in the GT3 class. The 2020 calendar was released on 4 April 2020.[1]
This season ran with a newly updated 2020 ACO LMP3 specification, including an uplift of ~35bhp in power and to 5.6 litres from 5.0 litres.[2] An issue with fuel consumption came to light after Free Practice sessions; the spec Nissan VK56 / X-Trac drivetrain, homologated and supplied through Oreca, used more fuel than was predicted. To mitigate this in the first race an additional mandatory pit stop was added, along with adjustments to relevant mandatory stop times and driver stint rules.[2]
^The GT3 class winner in Race 1 at Le Mans was the No. 63 FFF Racing Team by ACM invitational entry. As it is not a full-season Michelin Le Mans Cup entrant, the points for the win were awarded to the No. 8 Iron Lynx entry
^The GT3 class winner in Race 2 at Le Mans was the No. 63 FFF Racing Team by ACM invitational entry. As it is not a full-season Michelin Le Mans Cup entrant, the points for the win were awarded to the No. 74 Kessel Racing entry
