2019–20 FIA World Endurance Championship

The 2019–20 FIA World Endurance Championship is the eighth season of the FIA World Endurance Championship, an auto racing series co-organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest. The series is open to Le Mans Prototypes and grand tourer-style racing cars divided into four categories. World championship titles will be awarded to the leading manufacturers and drivers in both the prototype and grand tourer divisions. With the new winter scheduling format, the series began at Silverstone Circuit in September 2019 and ends with the 8 Hours of Bahrain in November 2020.

Schedule

The FIA and ACO announced a provisional schedule during the 2018 6 Hours of Silverstone which feature eight events over ten months. All events from the previous season are carried over, as well as the return of Bahrain which was not on the 2018–2019 calendar, and Interlagos which last held a WEC event in 2014. However, the length of the majority of events has been altered, moving away from the traditional six-hour format used in previous seasons. Bahrain in an eight-hour race and Silverstone and Shanghai are shortened to four-hour events.
After Formula 1 announced their provisional 2019 schedule, the WEC moved the Fuji round forward one week to 6 October to avoid a conflict with the Japanese GP. This also avoids a date conflict with the scheduled date for the IMSA season finale, Petit Le Mans. Moving the Fuji round forward also allowed the Shanghai round to be moved forward one week to 10 November, which avoids a conflict with the traditional date for the Macau GP. On 2 December 2019, it was announced that due to the failure of the promoter for 6 Hours of São Paulo to fulfill its contractual obligations to the championship, the round would be canceled, and instead replaced by the 6 Hours of Circuit of the Americas. The FIA also moved the date back three weeks to avoid a clashing with Super Bowl LIV and the Mexico City ePrix.
The 1000 Miles of Sebring was scheduled for 20 March 2020, but was cancelled due to a travel ban to the U.S. from mainland Europe following the COVID-19 pandemic. The 24 Hours of Le Mans was postponed to September due to the coronavirus. The 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps was postponed on 16 March. On 3 April 2020, a new revised calendar for the 2019–20 season was released, with the Spa race moved to 15 August and another 8 Hours of Bahrain event, on 21 November 2020, replacing the cancelled 1000 Miles of Sebring.
