Le Mans Series have confirmed the 2010 Le Mans Series Schedule and there are several important changes. First, there will be no Le Mans Series event at Catalunya or Nurburgring this year. Instead we have get new races: the 8 Hours of Castellet at HTTT Paul Ricard and a 1000 km night race at Hungaroring. Last year’s 1000 Km of Algarve is maintained as a night race.
It is interesting to note that the race at Le Castellet is not formatted as a 1000 Km race, but rather as a longer, 8 hours one. 1000 Km LMS races typically last about 6 hours.
