Grid Motorsport together with its partner JMW will compete in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) in 2023. ELMS is a prestigious sports car endurance racing championship that features some of the world's most talented drivers and technologically advanced vehicles. Founded in 2004, the ELMS is modeled after the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans race, which has been held annually since 1923.
The ELMS is a multi-class racing series, with three different classes of cars competing on the track at the same time. These classes include the top-tier LMP2 prototypes, the slightly slower but still formidable LMP3 prototypes, and the production-based GT cars.
Each race in the ELMS season is a multi-hour endurance event, with teams of drivers taking turns behind the wheel of their respective cars. The series has become known for its fiercely competitive racing, with close battles for position and dramatic moments of triumph and heartbreak.
In addition to providing thrilling racing action, the ELMS also serves as a proving ground for new technologies and innovations in the world of endurance racing. Many of the teams and drivers who compete in the ELMS go on to compete in other high-profile racing events, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the World Endurance Championship.
Overall, the European Le Mans Series is a must-watch for any fan of sports car racing, offering high-speed thrills and edge-of-your-seat excitement throughout the season.

The Ferrari 488 GTE was built to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship, the European Le Mans Series and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
Built by Ferrari’s in-house Competizioni GT unit, the car debuted at the 2016 24 Hours of Daytona. It was an impressive debut, and the Scuderia Corsa entrant finished only a lap behind the class winning Corvette.
The GTE has had strong success since, winning the 2016 and 2017 World Endurance Cup for GT Manufacturers and the 2017 Endurance Trophy for LMGTE Pro Teams in the World Endurance Championship, as well as the 2017 LMGTE Teams Championship in the European Le Mans Series.
The Ferrari 488 GTE is a high-performance race car that has been designed to dominate the track. Based on the iconic Ferrari 488 GTB, the GTE version has been optimized for racing with a range of advanced technologies and performance enhancements.
The 488 GTE is powered by a turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 engine that delivers an impressive 660 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque. This power is channeled through a seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters that allows for lightning-fast gear changes.
Overall, the Ferrari 488 GTE is an exceptional race car that combines the legendary performance and style of Ferrari with advanced racing technologies and features. It is a true masterpiece of engineering and design.
