The 2017 Le Mans Cup was the first running of the Le Mans Cup, ran by the former organisers of the World Endurance Championship, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest. After the collapse of the WEC in 2015, and the Siemens Ausdauer Reject Series being unable to continue into 2017, the ACO merged the remaining assets of the WEC together with SARS, along with a small investment from the French Government, to form the LMC.
