A revised 2019-2020 Endurance World Championship (EWC) calendar has been released in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that has placed the sport on pause.

The 8 Hours of Oschersleben scheduled to take place in Germany on 6 June has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled.

Instead, the EWC series will resume with Japan’s prestigious Suzuka 8 Hours on 19 July. Following that, the Le Mans 24 Hours will take place on the new date of 29-30 August in France.

It has also been revealed that the Bol d’Or 24 Hours at Paul Ricard, France, will be added to the 2019-2020 schedule to complete the championship.
