List of European Le Mans Series champions

The European Le Mans Series features several championships awarded by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest to the most successful competitors within each of the series categories each season. Since the first full season in 2004, championships have been awarded to the highest finishing drivers and teams, while the Michelin Energy Endurance Challenge (later renamed the Michelin Green X Challenge) was introduced in 2007. Constructors championships were introduced in 2008.

During the 2009 season, the Formula Le Mans Cup ran separate races at Le Mans Series events. Formula Le Mans was later absorbed into the Le Mans Series in 2010. Nico Verdonck won the Drivers' Championship while DAMS won the Teams Championship in the 2009 season.

Drivers' ChampionshipsEdit

German driver Marc Lieb is the most successful driver in the European Le Mans Series, having four championships in the LMGT2 category between 2005 and 2008. Emmanuel Collard, Pedro Lamy, and Patrice Goueslard each have three championships.
