Ligier Automotive North America Launches Driver Incentive Program for IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge
Daytona Beach, FL — Ligier Automotive North America (LANA) has unveiled a new driver incentive program aimed at fostering talent within the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge. The initiative rewards the top Bronze-rated driver competing in either the Ligier JS P325 or JS P320 with a coveted race seat in a Ligier JS P2 at the Legends of Le Mans event scheduled for June 2027.
The prize encompasses full race entry, car operation, tires, and fuel for the Legends of Le Mans, which will occur during the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans week.
“This is about creating continuity across everything we do at Ligier,” stated Mo Murray, CEO of LANA. “We have a strong presence globally—ranging from LMP3 to upcoming LMP2 and GT platforms—and we want that to translate into real opportunities for the drivers racing with us here in North America. This award recognizes our commitment and offers an aspirational pathway that connects North American racing directly to the Le Mans ecosystem.”
Launched in 2025, the Legends of Le Mans series features vintage LMP1, LMP2, and GTE cars, including the award-winning Ligier JS P2, which claimed the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship LMP2 title and achieved overall victories in IMSA’s three principal endurance races: Daytona, Sebring, and Petit Le Mans.
This incentive program not only seeks to enhance competition within IMSA but also bridges the gap between North American racing and the historic Le Mans event, providing young drivers with significant career advancement opportunities.
