🗣️'We have to be a bit more careful in distribution between continents.' Toyota is against the idea of a second FIAWEC round in the United States amid Roger Penske’s push to get Indianapolis on the calendar ⬇️
held talks with the WEC about staging a race on the Indianapolis road course
The USA is already represented on the WEC schedule, with the Sebring International Raceway hosting the opening round every year as part of a joint weekend with IMSA, an event that has universally been hailed a success. “When you have 24 races like F1 you can have several [rounds in the US],” said Vasselon, referring to F1 adding Miami and Las Vegas to its existing fixture at Austin in recent years.“When you already have one race in the US, maybe it's better to go [to] some other races. Also, we are quite flexible on that with more races.
“We are happy to have a bit more races [in 2023], because here at the moment we have races every two months and it's really too long between races and it's easy to lose focus,” he said. The French manufacturer also wants the series to expand its TV coverage in Europe before the start of what has been touted as a new golden era of sportscar racing.
