Jean Todt has paved the road for more high-profile date clashes between key races like Formula 1 grands prix and the iconic Le Mans 24 Hours race.
This year, the clash of the inaugural Baku round with Le Mans was highly controversial but FIA president Todt has this week played it down.
From the FIA sport conference in Turin, Italy’s Autosprint quoted the Frenchman as saying that preventing calendar clashes is “a kind of mission impossible”.
“I talk about how many important categories of motor sport there are and the fact there are only 52 weekends,” he said.
Indeed, just last weekend, 70-year-old Todt attended the start of the Le Mans 24 hours and then by Sunday was on the Baku grid.
“Even on TV it was possible to follow the start of the grand prix and the end of the 24 hours if you really wanted to,” he insisted.
