Toyota doesn't think it will be a good idea to have a second WEC race in the US amid talks to bring the series to the Indianapolis road course.
, which previously hosted Formula 1 events from 2000-07, saying the plan was at “the top of his list”.
WEC boss Frederic Lequien previously mentioned that he is willing to consider expanding the series’ footprint in the US, but ruled out adding a second race in the country in the short term. “When you already have one race in the US, maybe it's better to go [to] some other races. Also, we are quite flexible on that with more races.
Next year, the WEC will add a new fixture at Portimao in Portugal, with an eighth round expected to follow in 2024 at a yet-to-be decided location. “We believe we should go to eight races. Six is really not enough to feel the season. it's easy to lose the reason.”While the WEC has had a permanent presence in North America since the inception of the championship in 2012 via the US event, and even had a second round in Mexico in 2016 and 2017, South America has been absent from the WEC calendar since the series' last Brazilian round in 2014.
"We would love to go to South America because South America has very enthusiastic people in motorsport,” said Peugeot motorsport boss Jean-Marc Finot.
