The Spa 6 Hours retains its original date of May 1 on the latest revision to the calendar, which follows Thursday's shift of the Le Mans 24 Hours from its traditional mid-June slot to August 21-22. Portimao's eight-hour fixture will now take place over the original Le Mans weekend of June 12/13. A two-day official test at Spa on April 26-27 will precede the series opener in Belgium. The revised calendar, which was passed by the FIA World Motor Sport Council on Friday, has resulted from the "uncertainty surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic including travel restrictions", according to a WEC statement. The WEC stated that it hoped that by pushing back the Portuguese event it will "increase the possibility of fans being able to attend the race". Spa, however, is set to go ahead behind closed doors.
