   The Automobile Club d l’Ouest has released the final schedule for the 2011 Intercontinental Le Mans Cup. Fans of the American Le Mans Series will be relieved to see that Petit Le Mans has indeed been included in the cup, after some speculation that the popular race at Road Atlanta would be left off the calendar.
  The cup starts on American soil with the first event being the 12 Hours of Sebring, followed by a six hour enduro at the famous Spa Francorchamps in Belgium. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the third event and is the first time in many years that the French classic is now a points paying race.The year is rounded out with events at Imola, Silverstone, Road Atlanta and a yet to be determined venue in China.
