History
[edit]The 4 Hours of Monza was added to the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) calendar for the first time in 2017, replacing the previous Italian race at Imola Circuit.[1] The last time the ELMS ran at Monza was in 2008, as part of the Le Mans Series as the 1000 km of Monza.[2]
The inaugural event was won by Memo Rojas, Léo Roussel and Ryo Hirakawa driving for G-Drive Racing.[3] G-Drive claimed top honors the following two years with five different drivers, only Roman Rusinov repeating as winner in both races.[4][5] The 2019 edition was the first victory for the rebanded Oreca 07, Aurus 01.[6]
The 2020 race was dominated by United Autosports drivers Filipe Albuquerque and Phil Hanson, who also claimed the ELMS title at this round.[7] Panis Racing took its first victory in the ELMS at the 2021 edition with James Allen, Julien Canal and Will Stevens.[8] The most recent edition in 2022 saw IDEC Sport take top spoils for the first time in three years with Paul-Loup Chatin, Paul Lafargue and Patrick Pilet, overcoming a 20 second penalty.[9][10]
