not sure changing the @FIAWEC date for the Fuji round to suit 1 driver when it gives a date clash for many other drivers……

What a joke @FIAWEC has become!

I am just SORRY for all of the drivers who will have to miss Petit or Fuji due to this ridiculous date change. I hope @FIAWEC still remembers Endurance is a TEAM SPIRIT sport and is not a single individual who does the show!

Many thanks @FIAWEC I can’t believe you did it… your lack of consideration and respect for the drivers who had a contrat with a team in IMSA to race in NAEC the same weekend are unbelievable. I’m sure I will be not the only one to be impressed with what you did

Quick poll: is the WEC right to move the Fuji round for Alonso?

I’ll legally change my birthday if Alonso will come to the party.
