Wat betreft het annuleren van San Luis is SRO duidelijk. De maatregel draagt bij tot het verminderen van de kosten in de huidige, slechte economische situatie. San Luis zou daarentegen opnieuw - en als opener van het WK GT1 - op de kalender van 2010 staan.

17/03/2009 SRO announces team support package
While the FIA World Motor Sport Council, meeting today in Paris, confirmed some amendments to the second half of the 2009 calendar for the FIA GT Championship, including the reduction to eight rounds, the addition of a round at the Paul Ricard HTTT and the postponement of San Luis to 2010, SRO Motorsports Group has announced a fund of 1 million euro for teams taking part in the 2009 FIA GT and GT3 European Championships. "In the context of an unprecedented economic slowdown, it was essential to find ressources to contribute to the budget of the teams," commented SRO Executive Chairman Stephane Ratel. “This is the first time that such a large budget will be awarded to GT teams in Europe and the proof that, despite the difficult economic environment, SRO is continuing to build up GT Racing into an increasingly professional sport. We would like to thank Michelin and Total for their support.”

The fund will include 25,000 € per car for up to 24 cars entered on a full-season basis, as long as they take part in all eight rounds of 2009. Additionally, a free catering service will be provided for drivers and teams competing in the FIA GT3 European Championship. A further 150,000 € will be provided for the Michelin Trophy, as well as 40 sets of tyres, awarded to the best classified driver equipped with Michelin tyres in the FIA GT3 European Championship, to allow this driver to compete in the FIA GT Championship the following year.
