The FIA WEC’s Fuji 6 Hours is canceled for this year, and there will instead be two races at Bahrain on successive weeks.

So that’s FIA WEC and MotoGP now canceling in Japan. WRC (set for November) would likely be next. Formula 1 also a real strong possibility.

Bahrain is a pretty nifty track I bet it'd be fun for WEC.

Imagine calling a tilkedrome a nifty track.

It's not Tilke's fault really, they give him like 7 approved corners and tell him to make a track that meets grade 1 certification.

bahrain is in the upper tier as far as tilkedromes go, which means it's still an absolutely fuckin godawful track. except the outer loop i guess.

yeah, this. and that 'upper tier' of Tilkedromes has proven itself to be alright for mixed-class sports car racing (see also Asian Le Mans Series at Sepang).

it just sucks that

Does the 1000 miles of Sebring that doesn't go for 12 hours have a purpose any more?

yes, because both parties have the experience of running a WEC race at the same exact time as an IMSA race and it was Not Great:

this weekend is WEC 6 Hours of Monza, with qualifying on Saturday and the race scheduled for noon local time - adjust to your time zone from CEST. It looks like the Peugeot 9X8 will be on display at Monza, Nyck de Vries is in for the Racing Team Nederland car because one of the usual drivers :siren: got the 'rona :siren:, and Glickenhaus will race TWO cars this weekend. The driver who got into an accident at Portimao has been benched "so that all the drivers get race seat time," they say. Hmmmm.

I believe Super GT is also back this weekend from Motegi, doesn't look like live streams are prepped for that yet but I'll try to drop that in. Will be Saturday night US / Sunday morning EU time.

that means the Glickenhaus in 3rd right now, and even the second Glickenhaus (which had a spark plug problem early on) is now ahead of the #8 Toyota.

Still 2/3 of the race left but yeah this could be fun. the Alpine at least has a chance to push.

Loved the huge smile from the Glickenhaus pit wall when the #8 had troubles.

And that was one hell of an exploding tyre.

20 minutes in and we got a 30 minute full course yellow. They are actually not showing the crash, seems to be a really big one. People in chat say it's on the onboard streams and looked really bad.
I don't really feel like looking...
