## Resource

The WEC’s 2026 season is pivoting to Europe as Qatar and Bahrain races are scrapped due to Gulf conflict, forcing organizers to swap in Barcelona and Monza — a move that’s reshaping logistics, clashing with GT World Challenge Europe events, and shrinking championship points. Manufacturers’ travel bans and scheduling headaches add pressure, while the Asian Le Mans Series also rethinks its UAE plans, eyeing a European launchpad before heading to Malaysia and Thailand.
