In 2010 there will be four Formula Le Mans races hosted within Le Mans Series events, at Paul Ricard, Spa, Silverstone and one of the two LMS races yet to be defined. There will also be a stand-alone Formula Le Mans event.

Formula Le Mans is a new series that started in 2010. This move probably aims at making the series more attractive, by putting FLM drivers in direct competition with experienced Le Mans teams and drivers giving them an opportunity to build a reputation. FLM cars, which are downsized LMP2 prototypes built by Oreca, will be configured with just enough power to tail the LMP2 and maybe compete with GT1s.
