Dawn breaks on the 10th season season of WEC with the Prologue at Sebring this Saturday March 12 and Sunday March 13, one week before the first race of the season, still on the Florida circuit. This will be the opportunity for certain pilots, like Sébastien Ogier, to discover the bumps of this atypical route.

36 cars will be competing during this test weekend, including Algarve Pro Racing. The Portuguese team, which usually provides technical support for G-Drive, thus replaces the Russian team. The latter in fact withdrew from the championship to challenge the FIA's decisions to involve all Russian representatives under neutral license. Daniil Kvyat, who was to be the headliner of G-Drive for this season, is therefore not present at Sebring. He is replaced by the American Steven Thomas alongside the two starters scheduled for the entire season, James Allen and René Binder, which ultimately makes a fourth Pro-Am crew entered in LM P2.
In GT, the Swiss Nicolas Leutwiller will occupy the still vacant place in the Porsche 911 RSR – 19 n°46 of Team Project 1. Finally, two additional drivers were called in to support Dempsey – Proton Competition with the American Memo Gidley and the Portuguese Henrique Chaves.
The first session of the Prologue will take place this Saturday at 15:35 p.m. French time.
