It is the fourth 24 Hours of Le Mans-based series created by the ACO, following the European Le Mans Series and the FIA World Endurance Championship. The four event season began at the Fuji Speedway on 10 October 2015 and ended at Sepang International Circuit in Selangor on 24 January 2016.[1][2]

Calendar

The 2015 calendar was revealed on 12 February 2015. An updated race calendar was released on 20 April 2015, which added the round at Buriram and rescheduled the Sepang round,[2] before a further revised calendar cancelled the planned event at Shanghai International Circuit and replaced it with a second race in Sepang.[3] The Fuji round will be held alongside the FIA World Endurance Championship.[1]
