The organizing committee of the FIA World Endurance Championship unveiled the calendar for the upcoming season of the FIA World Endurance Championship for cars, which will kick off in February 2025.

Scheduled to be launched from Doha with the Qatar 1812 km race, the event marks the first round of the championship at the Losail International Circuit on February 28, 2025. The championship will feature eight rounds: the first round will be held in Qatar, while the second one will take place in Italy on April 20. The third round will be in Bulgaria on May 10, while the fourth will be in France on June 14 to 15.

The fifth round will be in Brazil on July 13, the sixth round will launch in the United States on September 7, the seventh in Japan on September 28, and the eighth and final round will be held in Bahrain on November 8.

Additionally, at least 14 manufacturers will compete in the upcoming 2025 edition of the World Endurance Championship. The championship's launch from Qatar solidifies the Losail International Circuit's position as a hub for international motorsport, especially after the tremendous success of the inaugural Qatar 1812 km race held last March. This race lasted for ten hours under the lights of the Losail International Circuit.

Executive Director of Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and CEO of Lusail International Circuit (LIC) Amro Al Hamad lauded the inauguration of the world championship from Doha, adding that the event strongly helped the LIC position itself as a major hub for global motor racing events for cars and motorcycles.

Al Hamad emphasized that he is excited to maintain this momentum by hosting the opening of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship season.
