Space!
The date change means the Fuji race now clashes with a sports car race in the IMSA series in the USA, in which some of the drivers in the WEC are racing.Neveu said IMSA "fully understood" the situation and Alonso hoped it would be able to move the date of that race.

WEC organizers finally realize what makes F1 racing better than WEC. People care about F1 far more than about WEC with its free-spec engine formula. People follow F1 to see the epic battles between Alonso, Hamilton, and Vettel. Now WEC admits this and makes and extreme accommodation for Alonso.

I think this is very nasty towards the drivers who now won't be able to take part in the Fuji race. It's very good for Alonso and his new employers, Toyota, who also happen to own Fuji Speedway... but not so very nice for pretty much everyone else in the sport.

Maybe not but I hope any driver that misses out financially sues. This is a disgraceful decision. No way should a race be moved to cater for one driver without all other competitors consent, I don’t care who or how good he may be. That’s Not to mention the fans that have probably lost out on airline fees and booking expenses due to this decision.
First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
