Le Mans Prototype

Le Mans Prototype (LMP) refers to a type of racing car designed specifically for endurance racing, especially the 24 Hours of Le Mans. These vehicles are built for durability, speed, and fuel efficiency, featuring advanced aerodynamics and lightweight materials. LMPs are often prototypes, meaning they are custom-designed for racing rather than production models. They compete in long-duration events, testing both driver skill and vehicle reliability over hours. Their goal is to outperform rivals in overall speed and endurance while meeting strict safety and technical regulations set by racing authorities.
