That's a shame but understandable. There's a space in August but I suspect that would be suicide in the Middle East. Early December might be the perfect time

If the geopolitical situation cools in time, I can see the FIA either having the Qatar 1812 act as a double-header with the 2026-'27 Asian Le Mans Series, or pulling a Super Sebring and running both championships in the same race together.

Could be a really fun way to introduce the Pro-Am Hypercar class that the AsLMS is getting. No idea if Qatars facilities could handle it, though.

Prologue Test Confirmed Ahead Of 6H Imola

The FIA World Endurance Championship teams will get the opportunity to test at Imola ahead of the first race weekend of the 2026 campaign, with the championship organisers rescheduling the annual pre-season Prologue to the 14th of April.
 
Genesis were already scheduled to test at Imola March 11 and Cadillac is listed March 31-April 1 so maybe they will get a testing day back.

You can translate it, basically two liveries but basically the same, the only difference is the colour of the letters, personally I'm happy with this one, next year we'll have the orange with McLaren

So at the time of your post it was just purely guessing with no source? I asked for a source as I knew you couldn't provide one. The article above is from today, and confirms they are running the same livery.

Because there wasn't one, you stated as fact the other car would be orange, I asked for a source, you couldn't provide one, and the 2nd car we now know isn't orange.

If you're going to state things as fact, back it up 👍.

On the livery, it is pretty bland, ironically though, as most of the other teams have quite colourful liveries, this will actually stand out in its dullness.
 
I bought the full season subscription for wec+ for the full and afterwards got the 15% discount code the spam folder ._.

HBO Max is included with Sky for those in the UK.

The motorsport is part of the TNT Sports additional subscription, like last year when it was on Discovery Plus. About £30 a month.
 
Did anyone else had problems with the fiawec+ website/streams during elms/michelin cup at the weekend?
The stream stopped multiple times for me or showed extreme compression artifacts (no downloads running during the streams)... I hope this stuff doesn't happen again with the upcoming Imola weekend

That doesn’t sound good.

I was reluctant to subscribe as they don’t have a dedicated TV app. Bit of a missed opportunity if you ask me. I’m not paying all that money to watch on my phone.

Plus they say you can “stream” from your phone - but these are 6 hour or more races!? Do they seriously believe that someone will watch the 24h on their phone.

Maybe I’m just an old fart - but I occasionally use my phone during the day and can’t dedicate it to being my television receiver for the day.
 
Got the season pass with a 15% discount from an email I got from them after I went on the old wec site and signed up for emailed news. If you haven't done that do it. 15% off is 15% off.
 
The FIA & ACO will keep BoP changes secret for 2026 to "avoid speculation."

WEC hält Balance of Performance 2026 geheim

In einem beispiellosen Schritt unterbindet die WEC Berichterstattung über die BoP 2026 - Hohe Strafen gegen Hersteller angekündigt
www.motorsport-total.com www.motorsport-total.com

Basically, the only people who will know the BoP for each round will be the FIA, ACO, the Manufacturers and any other personnel they deem necessary. Who that last group does not include is the drivers, as they'll be kept in the dark regarding BoP, and the FIA has threatened penalties should BoP figures become public.
