The FIA World Endurance Championship has unveiled its calendar for the 2022 campaign, with the 24 Hours of Le Mans set to return to its traditional date.
The season features six rounds, kicking off at Sebring in March and concluding in Bahrain in November.
The pre-season Prologue tests will take place at Sebring International Raceway on March 11-12.
This is followed by the season-opening 1000 Miles of Sebring on March 18, as part of the double header with IMSA’s Twelve Hours of Sebring.
The Six Hours of Spa-Francorchamps then kicks off the European section of the calendar on May 7.
The 24 Hours of Le Mans will return to its traditional slot, scheduled for June 11-12, followed by the Six Hours of Monza on July 10.
Le Mans was held in September in 2020, owing to the pandemic, while the 2021 edition is taking place this weekend.
The flyaway part of the season kicks off with the Six Hours of Fuji on September 11, before the season concludes with the Eight Hours of Bahrain on November 12.
“Our aim was to create both a global and cost-effective package in what has been a difficult past 18 months for our manufacturers and teams,” said WEC CEO Frédéric Lequien.
“With the 2022 calendar, we have achieved the perfect blend of classic race tracks and endurance racing heritage. We are confident that the Season 10 schedule will be popular with both competitors and fans alike.”
