Qatar WEC Prologue postponed to Monday following freight delays
The pre-season test at Losail International Circuit in Doha has been rescheduled to 26-27 February due to shipping delays caused by geopolitical issues in the Red Sea. Three test sessions are planned for Monday, from 8:30am to 10pm, followed by four hours of running on Tuesday. The Prologue’s delay shortens the gap before the start of the Qatar 1812km race on 29 February, kicking off the 2024 WEC season. Teams faced challenges as containers had to be rerouted from Saudi Arabia to Qatar because of disruptions in the Red Sea. Despite shipping issues, the first-ever WEC round at Losail is set to proceed as planned on 2 March, marking the beginning of a new era for the championship.
