The name "Lone Star Le Mans" had previously been used for the Austin round of the United SportsCar Championship, now the IMSA SportsCar Championship, from 2014 to 2016.

On 2 December 2019, the Austin round of the WEC was revived for 2020, as a result of a conflict between the promoters at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace and the WEC, where the Austin round replaced the 6 Hours of São Paulo.[3]

On 9 June 2023, the schedule for the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship was announced, with Austin returning to the schedule on 1 September as the 6th race of the season, effectively replacing the 1000 Miles of Sebring (a race specially created just for the WEC) as the American round of the championship.[4]
