The FIA World Endurance Championship has announced a provisional date for the 2015 Lone Star Le Mans weekend at Circuit of The Americas as Saturday, Sept. 19.
For the second year in a row, the global sports car series will share the same race date as its North American counterpart, the Tudor United SportsCar Championship. The WEC race is set for six hours, though a time was not announced. The Tudor series announced its Austin date in August.
The 2014 Lone Star Le Mans was a celebration of speed and music, with almost nine hours of racing and live music throughout the weekend. It also saw the debut of night racing at Circuit of The Americas and a spectacular fireworks show while cars were still on the track.
Check out both series’ schedules below.
