The 2022 FIA World Endurance Championship was the tenth season of the FIA World Endurance Championship, an auto racing series organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO). The series was open to prototype and grand tourer-style racing cars divided into four categories. World Championship titles were awarded to the leading manufacturers and drivers in both the prototype and grand tourer divisions.
It was the first season in which LMDh (Le Mans Daytona h) entries were allowed to compete alongside LMH (Le Mans Hypercar) entries on a race-by-race basis. However, they were not eligible for championship points until 2023.[1] It was the last season for LMGTE Pro class.
Calendar
The provisional calendar was announced in August 2021, featuring six rounds. Sebring and Fuji returned to the schedule after being canceled in 2021, while the second Bahrain and Portimão events were removed from the schedule. The 24 Hours of Le Mans also returned to its traditional early summer date.[2]
