FIA Confirms World Endurance Championship Deal with ACO Through 2027

Following reports of a potential contract disagreement between the FIA and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), the FIA has officially confirmed that their partnership for the World Endurance Championship (WEC) extends through the end of 2027. The joint organisers have maintained a collaborative relationship overseeing the WEC, one of motorsport's premier endurance racing series.

The confirmation comes after German publication Auto Motor und Sport suggested tensions between the two bodies could jeopardize the championship’s future. However, the FIA’s statement clarifies that a valid agreement is already in place, ensuring continuity for teams, manufacturers, and fans alike.

This announcement secures the promotional and organisational framework for the WEC, reinforcing stability in the sport’s governance amid evolving motorsport landscapes. Stakeholders can now focus on the competitive and technological developments ahead without concerns over administrative disruptions.
