The FIA has confirmed that its agreement with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) to promote the World Endurance Championship (WEC) will continue until the end of 2027, despite a reported contract dispute. German publication Auto Motor und Sport (AMuS) had reported that the FIA and ACO, joint promoters of the WEC, could part ways as early as 2027, as no agreement had been reached for the 2027 promotion.
However, the FIA has clarified that their existing promoter agreement with the ACO remains in place until the end of 2027, and discussions are underway for an extension beyond that. The WEC and the ACO have emphasized that they are engaged in constructive discussions for the championship's long-term future beyond 2027, suggesting its prospects are secure.
