Calendar

Perspective

The provisional calendar for the 2019 season was announced on 21 September 2018.[1] The calendar comprises six events, with the only change from the 2018 season being the addition of a race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, which replaces the Red Bull Ring as the third round of the season.[3]

In April 2019, it was announced that the round in Barcelona would be held as an evening race, taking place on the Saturday evening of the event instead of the originally scheduled Sunday afternoon, primarily due to the anticipated hot weather in Spain in July.[4]

The round at Silverstone is once again held in conjunction with the FIA World Endurance Championship.[5]
