2018 British LMP3 Cup
The 2018 LMP3 Cup Championship was the second season for the British LMP3 Cup. The calendar was announced on 10 November 2017,[1] with the same venues as the previous year, but in a different order. The series will now finish at Silverstone, one month later than in 2017.
Michelin will supply the tyres, a change from Pirelli in 2017,[2] and French manufacturer Norma intends to race its M30 car, which would make it the first non-Ligier JS P3 in the series.[3]
