#ELMS#4HBarcelona
๐ฆ๐น @Fhabsburg62 became the first Austrian #ELMS-era champion in 2022, winning the overall title for @PREMA_Team.
Habsburg joined only @RichardLietz, who won the LMGT2 titles in 2009 and 2010, when ELMS was still the Le Mans Series.
For the third time in the last five season, @ProtonRacing are #ELMS GTE champions.
Christian Ried becomes the first driver to win the class twice, having previously done so in 2020, and is still the only German champion in GTE.
1 - Cool Racingโs @malthe_jakobsen, @mikeybenham & Mo Smith became the first #ELMS LMP3 champions to be crowned despite not winning the most races in a season.
The #17 won two races in 2022, including #4HPortimao; one fewer than rivals Inter Europol #13โs three wins.
What a season final round !! Mo Smith, Michael Benham and Malthe Jakobsen won the LMP3 class of the 4 Hours of Portimao and the European LMS title after a heartbreaking last hour. Such an amazing reward for the whole crew, who is also Teams Champion.
#4HPortimao 2022 was @LouisDeletrazโ 12th @EuropeanLMS race, and 7th win.
The Swiss driver improved to a 58% win rate, a 75% podium rate, maintained a 100% finish rate - all of these in the top 5, and 100% overall title rate. Two seasons, two LMP2 championships. ๐ฏ
EUROPEAN CHAMPION ๐๐พ Itโs done! 2 years in a row. Wow. Thank you all, thank you @prema_team & @iron.lynx. Ferdi, Lorenzo & Juan it was a pleasure. โค๏ธ #Champions#Europe#elms ๐ฅ @antoinetruchet
๐ฎ๐น @PREMA_Team became the first Italian team to win the overall #ELMS title, in 2022.
Their #9 ended the season at #4HPortimao with a 4th victory on the year, which is the new 4th-most LMP2 wins in the current era.

For the first time since #4HPortimao 2020, @IronLynx_ are on pole position in #ELMS GTE.
Sarah Bovy becomes the first woman in the series to score a pole position, having also achieved the same feat at #WEC#6hMonza earlier in 2022.
Not content with only equalling history, @COOLRacing and Malthe Jakobsen make it, becoming the first LMP3 team in @EuropeanLMS history to score six consecutive pole positions.
Cool equal Team LNTโs record from 2015 of claiming every LMP3 pole in a season.
.@JaitkenRacer claims @racingteamtrโs first pole position of #ELMS 2022 at #4HPortimao, and their second ever.
Four of the overall pole positions in 2022 have been by LMP2 Pro-Am entrants.
