The Suzuka 8 Hours has been given an earlier date for the 2024 season, with the Japanese endurance classic set to take place in July.
For the last two years, the FIM Endurance World Championship event has taken place in the first week of August, but a desire to avoid a clash with the Olympic Games in Paris has led to next year's being race being pushed two weeks forward.
Suzuka taking place in July is nothing new however, as the race often was held on the last weekend of July prior to the coronavirus pandemic, which led to the 2020 and '21 editions being cancelled. "It’s also an event that attracts a huge and enthusiastic fan following, which helps to create a tremendous and unforgettable atmosphere each year.
Honda scored its 29th Suzuka victory in this year's race with its factory-run Team HRC entry of Takumi Takahashi, Xavi Vierge and Tetsuta Nagashima.
