All remaining cars have arrived at Lusail International Circuit ahead of tomorrow’s start of the FIA World Endurance Championship Prologue.

Sportscar365 understands that the majority of 50-plus remaining containers were delivered to the site of the season-opening race through the overnight hours.

It included the No. 2 Cadillac V-Series.R, both Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 Rs, the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evos from The Heart of Racing and D’station Racing, Vista AF Corse’s pair of Ferrari 296 GT3s, Team WRT’s BMW M4 GT3s and the two Akkodis ASP Team Lexus RC F GT3s.

Proton Competition’s No. 77 Ford Mustang GT3 was also seen being unloaded from its container as of Sunday morning.

The WEC has issued a revised scrutineering and second Prologue event schedule update as a result of the delays.

The pre-season test, which initially had four sessions and 14 hours of run time, has been reduced by one hour and will now be condensed into three sessions, now beginning at 12 p.m. local time on Monday.

Monday’s action will consist of two five-hours sessions (12-5 p.m. and 6-11 p.m.) with a third and final session currently on tap for Tuesday from 9 a.m.-12 p.m.).

Scrutineering, meanwhile, is set to get underway at 2 p.m. local time today and begin with the teams that were least affected by the delayed freight.
