-  The 5th anniversary round of the Ultimate Cup Series welcomes its six disciplines



The 2023 season marks the 5th anniversary of the Ultimate Cup Series, which has fully found its place in the motorsport landscape for four seasons now. A five-star calendar, a growing field, renowned drivers, exceptional formats and a reinforced organisation... All the indicators are green!




The Endurance Prototype Challenge in full swing - entry list



The provisional grid of the sport-prototype discipline has never been as full as at the beginning of
the year with no less than 27 cars expected in the Var, including 12 LMP3s, the flagship category,
and 10 NP02s from French manufacturer Nova Proto.


A number of renowned teams will be on track in LMP3, including reigning champions Graff Racing, as well as the British team Nielsen Racing, Yvan Muller's team M Racing, CD Sport and Pegasus Racing.

This new season also marks the return of well-known teams from the Ultimate Cup Series and European and international competitions such as Team Virage, TS Corse and of course Inter Europol Competiton, but also the arrival of new teams - T2 Racing and BHK Motorsport. The French team Zosh Compétition will make its debut in LMP3 with two cars.


Three major manufacturers will be represented in LMP3, Duqueine, Ligier and Ginetta. MG Sound Studio is back again and will enter its Ginetta G61-LT-P3 against the Duqueine D08 and Ligier JS P320 of the various teams.



After winning everything in 2022, ANS Motorsport is back in force with a mixed programme of CN and NP02. The champions of the CN category for the team managed by Nicolas Schatz, Frédéric Crouillet and Mathys Jaubert, are taking the plunge and will team up on an NP02. The sportprototype introduced at the beginning of 2021 continues to attract drivers to the ideal playground of the Ultimate Cup Series.



On the driver's side, there will also be some great drivers with a certain Yann Ehrlacher, multiple WTCR Touring Car World Champion, without forgetting the Monegasque Stéphane Ortelli, winner of the 1998 Le Mans 24 Hours, among others. These great drivers do not make us forget the other protagonists, all of whom are motivated by the desire to shine, especially within such a strong field.


The first race of the season, lasting 4 hours, will take place on Saturday 25 March, entirely at night.
