2001 American Le Mans Series Season

Schedule

The schedule for the 2001 featured the only time in ALMS history that the opening event was not the 12 Hours of Sebring, instead being preceded by the Grand Prix of Texas. After Sebring, the two ELMS rounds at Donington Park and Jarama were optional for ALMS teams as the next North American event was not until after Le Mans. The Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course was added to the schedule, replacing previous races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway. This was the last season to feature events held on road courses at oval circuits.
