At least one

E. General regulations regarding the classifications:

• Any competitor entering at least one race will be classified.
• Except for the Michelin Green X Challenge classification, the points will be independently allocated for each category ("LM"P1, "LM"P2, "LM" GT1, "LM" GT2).
• The classification will be drawn up by adding the results of all the rounds of the season.
• In the case of joint winners, the number of victories in the category during the season, then the first victory, then the numbers of second places in the category during the season, then the first second place will break the tie, and so on…
• Penalties imposed to the competitors for an engine replacement will be balanced with the points scored. This rule will be applied to all the classifications.
• Provided the team has participated in each of the races of the season, the competitor whose cars are ranking first and second in each category at the end of the season will be automatically selected for the following year Le Mans 24 Hours (on condition that the team will enter the whole following year Le Mans Series).

Sarrazin is already almost untouchable in the drivers classification.
