GT World Challenge and WEC clash: What will teams and drivers racing both championships do?

The GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and the FIA World Endurance Championship will clash on the same weekend in October at Portimao and Barcelona. SRO Motorsports Group has adjusted the schedule to allow drivers to attempt both championships, but this presents significant logistical challenges. Drivers like Daniel Juncadella and Jules Gounon, who race for different manufacturers in each series, face particular difficulties.

Mercedes, Aston Martin, Ferrari, McLaren, and Team WRT all have drivers participating in multiple championships, requiring careful planning to determine which events take priority. The situation is further complicated by time zone differences and the need for drivers to travel between circuits. Ultimately, the outcome will depend on championship standings and the decisions made by teams and drivers before the October clash.
