The Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), the promoter of the World Endurance Championship (WEC), with the support of the Royal Automobile Club of Belgium (RACB) and the Circuit de Spa Francorchamps, is very happy to announce that it has renewed with the organisers of the WEC the contract to stage the WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps for a further three years.
The WEC will therefore be present in Belgium until 2018 and the race will be held every May at the Circuit de Spa Francorchamps. The high quality and great all-round success has perfectly demonstrated how the event has grown year on year, season on season.
The enthusiasm and happiness of competitors, manufacturers, partners, fans, media and the organisers in and around the paddocks of this most iconic and historic of tracks prove what a real celebration of sports cars the event has become. All parties look forward to many more great WEC 6 Hours of Spa Francorchamps to come.
The Belgian round of the WEC, a favourite for teams and drivers alike, has formed an integral part of the season since the championship was launched in 2012 and is viewed as the traditional dress rehearsal for the Le Mans 24 Hours which follows in June.
