The pre-season Prologue test for the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship season opener in Qatar has been postponed to next week due to shipping delays affecting several teams, including the LMGT3 field and the Cadillac Racing V-Series.R. The missing containers en route from Saudi Arabia to Qatar are expected to arrive on Saturday morning. As a result, the test has been rescheduled to Monday and Tuesday next week, with updated slots for scrutineering and track walk on Sunday. The decision to postpone was influenced by geopolitical issues causing delays in the transportation of sea freight. The season-opening Qatar Airways Qatar 1812km race will proceed as scheduled on Saturday, March 2 at 11 am local time. Nine hours of track time are planned for Monday, with a final four-hour session on Tuesday morning, followed by further track action on Thursday afternoon to prepare for the weekend race.
