Finally
I have compiled this year's Calendar for the major Championships. I have included ALMS as in previous years.
Not a great deal has changed with regard to the cars themselves, however, Porsche Penske Motorsport have withdrawn from WEC Hypercar, but will continue in IMSA GTP.
Despite there being no UK Round of WEC as in previous years, we do have ELMS returning again to Silverstone in September, so that's something to be grateful for. If you're able to, please support this event by attending, with the hope that the WEC will return in the future.
UPDATE: Recently announced is the postponement of the first Round of the WEC in Qatar, unsurprisingly due to the ongoing conflict in the vicinity. Consequently, the WEC Calendar has been re-arranged and the Qatar Round will now be held on Saturday 24 October, making it the penultimate Round of the Championship.
