The 2024 Season kicks off with the 24 hours of Daytona as per usual, Round 1 of the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship.
LMP2 cars will continue to feature in this Championship, the Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS) and the European Le Mans Series (ELMS). However, due to the burgeoning field of Hypercars and GT3 cars in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), they will no longer appear in this Championship, except for the 24 hours of Le Mans.
GTE cars have now been replaced with GT3 cars in all the above Championships, so the World Endurance Championship now has just 2 Classes of cars racing this year, as mentioned above.
Here is the 2024 Calendar with the continuing (and final) Rounds from the Asian Le Mans Series 2023-2024 Season (ALMS).
And following the final Round of the purely 2024 Season, the 2024-2025 Season of the ALMS starts with Rounds 1 and 2 (now increased to 6) at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.
IMSA Round 1, 24 hours of Daytona - Saturday 26 into Sunday 27 January
ALMS Round 3, 4 hours of Dubai (Autodrome) - Sunday 4 February
ALMS Round 4, 4 hours of Abu Dhabi (Yas Marina) - Saturday 10 February
ALMS Round 5, 4 hours of Abu Dhabi (Yas Marina) - Sunday 11 February
WEC Round 1, Qatar 1812 km - Saturday 2 March
IMSA Round 2, 12 hours of Sebring - Saturday 16 March
ELMS Round 1, 4 hours of Barcelona - Sunday 14 April
IMSA Round 3, "Grand Prix of Long Beach" - Saturday 20 April
WEC Round 2, 6 hours of Imola - Sunday 21 April
ELMS Round 2, 4 hours of Le Castellet (Paul Ricard) - Sunday 5 May
WEC Round 3, 6 hours of Spa-Francorchamps - Saturday 11 May
IMSA Round 4, "Course de Monterey" (Laguna Seca) - Sunday 12 May

ELMS Round 3, 4 hours of Imola - Sunday 7 July
WEC Round 5, 6 hours of São Paulo - Sunday 14 July
IMSA Round 7, "Chevrolet Grand Prix" (Mosport) - Sunday 14 July
IMSA Round 8, "IMSA Sportscar Weekend" (Road America) - Sunday 4 August
ELMS Round 4, 4 hours of Spa-Francorchamps - Sunday 25 August
IMSA Round 9, "Michelin GT Challenge" (Virginia International Raceway/VIR) - Sunday 25 August
WEC Round 6, "Lone Star Le Mans" (Circuit Of The Americas/COTA) - Sunday 1 September
WEC Round 7, 6 hours of Fuji - Sunday 15 September
IMSA Round 10, "Battle on The Bricks" (Indianapolis) - Sunday 22 September
ELMS Round 5, 4 hours of Mugello - Sunday 29 September
IMSA Round 11, "Petit Le Mans" (Road Atlanta) - Saturday 12 October
ELMS Round 6, 4 hours of Portimão - Saturday 19 October
WEC Round 8, 8 hours of Bahrain - Saturday 2 November
ALMS Round 1, 4 hours of Sepang - Saturday 7 December
ALMS Round 2, 4 hours of Sepang - Sunday 8 December
And so we come to the end of another year of racing.
2025 will start in late January as in previous years with the first Round of the IMSA Sportscar Championship, the 24 hours of Daytona, and then the concluding 4 races of the 2024 - 2025 Asian Le Mans Series in February.
Have an enjoyable Christmas and heres to a Happy New Year!

Due to a lengthy Red Flag, the race was "extended" for the duration of the Red Flag; 1h 45m. Hats off to the Race Organisers as they could've "called it early" but didn't. WEC Round 3 6 hours of Spa-Francorchamps Saturday 10 May Replay here (race start 29:30) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHPKqTHGzBoThis was a cracker of a race, despite the lengthy interruption!
