2018 Petit Le Mans

The 2018 Motul Petit Le Mans took place at Road Atlanta from October 10-13, 2018. It is also the 21st edition of the Petit Le Mans. It served as the 2018 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship finale, and the fifth race of the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship since it's inception in 2014.

Many teams chose to change drivers for the race due to the Fuji-Road Atlanta clash, which meant that the driver became unavailable. Some IndyCar full-time players, like Jirayu La-ongmanee, chose not to participate in the race due to the 2018 Luk Thung Cup, where he needed to get there before his matches.

This race is known to be the last full-time race for Johannes van Overbeek. He is retiring after the race concludes.
