2013 FIA WEC calendar

The FIA World Motor Sport Council has agreed a schedule of events for the 2013 World Endurance Championship.

There’s hardly any change from this year’s calendar, and the Le Mans 24 Hours continues to be the highlight. However, the Silverstone race now becomes the season opener, and the venue for the American round has shifted from Sebring to Austin.

2013 FIA World Endurance Championship
Date	Country	Race
14 April	Great Britain	6 Hours of Silverstone
04 May	Belgium	6 Hours of Spa
22-23 June	France	24 Heures du Mans
24 August	Brazil	6 Hours of Sao Paulo
22 September	USA	6 Hours of Austin
20 October	Japan	6 Hours of Fuji
10 November	China	6 Hours of Shanghai
30 November	Bahrain	6 Hours of Bahrain

The regulations remain largely unaltered too, although various cost-saving measures have been introduced and organisers will be able to adjust the balance of performance between LMP2 class cars. Diesel engines are going to be permitted in the 2013 championship, but equivalency rules should ensure equality between petrol- and diesel-powered entries.
