Summary
The 2026/27 Asian Le Mans Series will run entirely in Europe, with a special Winter Le Mans Series staged in France, Spain and Portugal.
Ongoing conflict in the Middle East drove the shift, with organizers citing geopolitical and logistical uncertainty around holding the season in its usual region.
The relocation recasts the championship as an exceptional one-off European campaign rather than a standard Asian-based calendar.
The move underscores how regional security risks are spilling into international motorsport scheduling and event logistics.
