2009 Oreca FLM-09<\/h1>\n

In 2009 the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) created Formula Le Mans (FLM) as a one-make series intended to level the playing field and curb the increasing costs of endurance racing. The cars were made by Oreca as a variant of Courage LC75 with a near-stock version of the LS3 GM V8 and Xtrac gearbox.<\/span><\/p>\n

The intention was to create a one-make series as an opening race to the Le Mans Endurance Series. By 2010 the FLM integrated successfully into regular ALMS and the Le Mans Series.<\/p>\n

Formula Le Mans Coordinator Alain Marguet said \u201cOur goal was to have a car with very high quality, reliability and a complete budget for the season without any surprises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marguet talked about the engineering choices: \u201cWe chose to use the Courage chassis and it is exactly the same as the LMP1 design. After that we chose a strong American engine, and we modified some parts for reliability, like fitting a dry sump, Marelli electronic injection. For the transmission we chose an proven Xtrac gearbox, which we think is the best in the racing world and we fitted a Megaline shifter. It is one of the best systems and as used by Audi. That is a guarantee of reliability.\u201d<\/p>\n
