GT World Challenge and WEC clash: What will teams and drivers racing both championships do?

The GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and the FIA World Endurance Championship will race on the same weekend in October, with Portimao and Barcelona hosting events on the exact same dates. As a result, SRO Motorsports Group has been forced to revise the schedule for what will be the final Endurance Cup round of the 2026 season.

The clash emerged after the WEC confirmed that that the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will replace Qatar as the penultimate round of the 2026 campaign. It is a familiar problem in endurance and GT racing, where scheduling conflicts regularly arise between major championships including IMSA, the DTM, the European Le Mans Series and International GT Open, leaving drivers and teams with difficult choices.
