2021 CMS Team Endurance Series

Introduction

The first year of CMS iRTES was a success by any measure. That was not a “given”. At its outset, the organizers questioned if enough drivers and teams would be willing to meet on Sundays for this short “endurance” race format. Once announced, the entries rolled in and the year started with 40 teams.

While the LMP2 and GTE overall winners took the events hands-down, during the 5-rounds was a lot of good racing. And a bright outlook for even better to come.

The 2022 iRTES has already been announced and is scheduled to begin on January 9th, 2022.
