Schedule changes

The ALMS initially announced a 13 race schedule for the 2001 season in September 2000. For the only time in ALMS history, the season opener was not held at Sebring International Raceway but instead being preceded by the Grand Prix of Texas. After Sebring, two European races were held in collaboration with the ELMS and were optional for ALMS teams as the next North American event was not until after Le Mans. The British round was held at Donington Park after Silverstone and Brands Hatch's plans fell through due to scheduling issues. The second European round would be held at Circuito Permanente Del Jarama in Spain.

A second Canadian round was planned to be held at Circuit Mont-Tremblant in Quebec on August 25. This was cancelled after circuit owner Lawrence Stroll communicated to the ALMS “an inability to comply with the terms of the event agreement”. Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course would replace the event, marking the first time the ALMS would visit the Midwest.

Three races were planned after Petit Le Mans but all were cancelled and not replaced. Charlotte Motor Speedway planned to host a race on October 21st but was cancelled in August.

The final two rounds were to be exhibition events for the planned Asia-Pacific Le Mans Series (APLMS) with races at Sepang International Circuit on November 11th and the Adelaide Street Circuit on December 2nd. The South Australian government cancelled the Adelaide event in early 2001 and while the ALMS received offers from several locations around Australia to hold a replacement event, with the most likely candidate being a street circuit in Sydney, however the series ran out of time for a replacement. The Malaysian round was increased from 4 to 6 hours to compensate. This event would also be cancelled after logistical issues caused by the September 11th Terrorist attacks.

the Nürburgring and Las Vegas Motor Speedway were both dropped from the schedule after 2000 with no reason given. This was the last season to feature events held on road courses at oval circuits.
