More FIA WEC news

Looking at more news from the FIA WEC between Qatar and the next race at Imola in Italy, near Bologna, on Sunday, April 21st.  So, in a little less than a month from right now.    

Peugeot's drivers also have commitments to race in Formula E on the same weekend as the Spa 6 Hours in Belgium on May 11th and 12th.  What to do?  What to do?

BMW will have a clash on it's hands if the DTM (running GT3 machinery of course), races at Zandvoort in Holland on the same weekend as the test day for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and understandably, they want the date changed to avoid conflict.

A story applying to both WEC and IMSA with respect to Harry Tincknell and his commitments to the factory Ford Mustang GT3 program in IMSA and the Proton Competition Porsche 963 Hypercar in the FIA World Endurance Championship.  Like the BMW situation, race car drivers cannot be in two places and two races at once, obviously.
