It has usually taken place on either Ascencion Day weekend or Corpus Christi weekend, both public holidays. These days move around (because they are a fixed number of days after Easter) and when one is unusually early or late the race is switched to the other. The original date for 2022 was set for Corpus Christi weekend 15-16 June and announced as part of a five year plan in 2017. They were obviously going to have to change it because of the Le Mans clash and have now done so under pressure from the big GT companies, moving it to the Ascension Day weekend it should always have been on.
