The word on the street is that the AMLS is dying and the FIA will be the new sectioning body.

Start discussions now :

It used to be FIA sanctioned. Up until 1972

So long as it's still a 12 hr race on the third saturday in March I'm ok with it.

Now Official

This morning at the Zhuhai 6 Hours meeting the logo and the calendar of the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship were presented. The championship consisting of eight rounds, including the Le Mans 24 Hours, will start in March and finish in November.

 
Jean-Claude Plassart, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest President, Pierre Fillon, ACO Vice President and Gérard Neveu, the FIA World Endurance Championship manager gave details of the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship calendar. The programme will include eight races in eight different countries on three continents. Four races will take place on Saturday, three on Sunday and one - the Le Mans 24 Hours - on Saturday/Sunday.

2012 Calendar*
17th March 2012: Sebring 12 Hours (USA)
5th May 2012: WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps (B)
3rd June 2012: Le Mans 24-Hours test day (F)
16th/17th June 2012: 80th Le Mans 24 Hours (F)
25th August 2012: 6 Hours of Silverstone (GB)
16th September 2012: 6 Hours of Sao Paulo (BR) tbc
30th September 2012: 6 Hours of Mount Fuji (J)
20th October 2012: 6 Hours of Bahrain (BAH)
11th or 18th November 2012: 6 Hours of TBA (CH)

The entries for the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship and the Le Mans 24 Hours will be announced on 2nd February 2012 after deliberation by the Selection Committee.



The word from China on the last round is that Zhuhai wants it more than Shanghai, the ACO wants some changes to the track and Zhuhai wants a multi-year deal. It should get sorted.

If it is Zhuhai, then it will be on 11th as Macau is already booked for 18th.
