Assen 500

The FIM World Endurance Championship starts this weekend, with practice and qualifying on Saturday the 15th and the first race of what is set to be a classic season of endurance competition on Easter Monday, the 17th of April.

The Assen 500 will be the first international race to be held on the redesigned circuit, and will also be the first chance for the teams who are competing in the full World Endurance Championship season to go head-to-head.

This winter has seen unprecedented levels of testing, with competitors gearing up for the most intense year of long distance racing in five years. 2006 is also set to bring the widest media coverage the championship has ever seen, with new technology bringing World Endurance racing video highlights onto the desktop of millions of fans.
