On 2 December 2019, the Austin round was revived for 2020, as a result of a conflict between the promoters at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace and the WEC, where the Austin round replaced the 6 Hours of São Paulo.
On 9 June 2023, the schedule for the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship was announced, with Austin returning to the schedule on 1 September as the 6th race of the season.
