==History==
The GT3 Le Mans Cup was created in 2016 after the [[Group GT3|GTC category]] was dropped from the [[European Le Mans Series]]. The new tournament was designed primarily to increase the number of amateur drivers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.planetlemans.com/2016/05/04/villorba-corse-to-enter-2016-michelin-gt3-le-mans-cup/|title=Villorba Corse to enter 2016 Michelin GT3 Le Mans Cup|first=News|last=Release|date=4 May 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lemanscup.com/en/elms/story/5/62?year=2016|title=History - Michelin Le Mans Cup}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crash.net/sportscars/news/224384/1/aco-launches-michelin-gt3-le-mans-cup.html|title=ACO launches Michelin GT3 Le Mans Cup - Sportscars News|first=Crash Media Group|last=Ltd.}}</ref> The teams' champion automatically receives an invitation to take part in the following [[24 Hours of Le Mans]] in the LMGTE Am category.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/122272|title=Prize fund revealed for new GT3 Le Mans Cup}}</ref>
From the [[2017 Michelin Le Mans Cup|2017 season]], the series adopted a new format with LMP3 and GT3-class cars competing in their respective categories, with the ACO aiming to create a secondary division of LMP3-racing and promoting the best teams from the Le Mans Cup to the European Le Mans Series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportscar365.com/lemans/lemans-cup/lmp3-cars-added-to-michelin-le-mans-cup-for-2017/|title=LMP3 Cars Added to Michelin Le Mans Cup for 2017 - Sportscar365}}</ref>
A new LMP3 specification with higher power engines was introduced for the [[2020 Le Mans Cup|2020 season]]; this was found to consume more fuel than predicted, forcing pit stop and stint time rule changes.
The Le Mans weekend originally had a one-hour format in 2017, and has had two 55-minute races every year since 2018. The remaining races originally had a two-hour format, later shortened to 1h 50min for the 2022 season, to enable removal of this second mandatory pit stop.
