One month on from the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the FIA World Endurance Championship heads off to Brazil where Ferrari will be on the hunt for another win at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace.  However, the Le Mans winners will undoubtedly face a strong challenge from Toyota, Porsche, Cadillac, BMW, Alpine, Peugeot and Aston Martin.

Four weeks after the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans, S&atilde;o Paulo (Brazil) awaits the FIA World Endurance Championship field at its famous circuit, more commonly known as Interlagos. The Rolex 6 Hours of S&atilde;o Paulo marks the start of the second half of the season. 
Thirty-six cars&nbsp;make up the entry list split equally between the Hypercar and LMGT3 classes. Aston Martin THOR Team, Porsche Penske Motorsport and Peugeot TotalEnergies will go with two-driver line-ups. Toyota Gazoo Racing&rsquo;s S&eacute;bastien Buemi will also be missing from the #8 Toyota GR010 Hybrid. The Swiss will be in Berlin for a round of the Formula E world championship.

<h2>A fourth consecutive win for Ferrari?</h2>

Ferrari will aim for a fourth win on the bounce with the #50 and #51 factory 499Ps as well as the AF Corse #83 entry that triumphed in the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans last month. The Prancing Horse tops the FIA Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers&rsquo; Championship standings with a 77-point lead over Toyota, with Porsche a further 11 points behind.

In the FIA Endurance Trophy for LMGT3 teams, Manthey 1st Phorm (#92 Porsche 911 GT3 R LMGT3) leads the way ahead of Vista AF Corse (#21 Ferrari 296 LMGT3), a mere five points in arrears. TF Sport (#33 Corvette Z06 LMGT3.R) lies in third place. Iron Dame Michelle Gatting, who missed out on the 24 Hours of Le Mans after injuring her foot on Test Day, should be fit enough to return to the wheel of the #85 Porsche 911 GT3 R LMGT3.

Le Mans Classic Legend – New chapter to begin 2-5 July 2026

The #48 Oreca 07-Gibson of VDS Panis Racing took the honours in the 4 Hours of Imola, the third round of the 2025 European Le Mans Series. Meanwhile, TF Sport scooped a historic LMGT3 success for Corvette.

The VDS Panis Racing line-up of Oliver Gray, Charles Milesi and Esteban Masson drove the #48 Oreca 07-Gibson to overall victory at the 4 Hours of Imola yesterday (Sunday 6 July). At the chequered flag, the French team held an 8.8-second lead over the #43 Oreca of Inter Europol Competition. The #25 Oreca of Algarve Pro Racing, who included Th&eacute;o Pourchaire in their ranks, rounded out the podium. AO by TF won the LMP2 Pro/Am class with the #99 Oreca affectionately known as Spike. 
The race for the championship title is warming up nicely with VDS Panis Racing taking a single-point lead over IDEC Sport, with Inter Europol Competition a further 12 points in arrears.

The LMGT3 class saw a historic win for Corvette. Charlie Eastwood, the former ELMS LMP2 Pro/Am champion, was first to cross the finish line at the wheel of the TF Sport #82 Corvette Z06 LMGT3.R, scoring the American manufacturer&rsquo;s first-ever European Le Mans Series victory. Two Ferrari 296 LMGT3s &ndash; #74 of Kessel Racing and #55 of Spirit Of Race &ndash; completed the podium. 
The 15 points earned took Spirit Of Race to the top of the championship standings ahead of TF Sport and Iron Dames. AF Corse lie in fourth position, just seven points behind the leaders. Everything is still to play for in the highly competitive ELMS LMGT3 class!

<h2>A third LMP3 win on the bounce for CLX Motorsport</h2>

The polesitting CLX Motorsport line-up of Paul Lanchere, Adrien Clomesnil and Theodor Jensen dominated the LMP3 class. The Swiss outfit in the #17 Ligier-Toyota fought off the challenge from Racing Spirit Of L&eacute;man (#31 Ligier-Toyota) and Eurointernational (#11 Ligier-Toyota). CLX Motorsport holds a huge 45-point lead over Inter Europol Competition at the top of the LMP3 charts.

The European Le Mans Series will be back after a summer break with the 4 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps (22-24 August). 
In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the highlights of the 4 Hours of Imola.

The Graff-So24 team thus loses the LMP2 pole position, initially taken by Tristan Gommendy. The stewards ruled that Vincent Capillaire failed to to stop at the scrutineering light for weighing of his #39 Oreca 07 during Qualifying 3. The penalty means that the French team moves down from ninth on the starting grid to the 22nd position.

As a result, TDS Racing&rsquo;s #28 Oreca 07 takes the LMP2 class pole and will start from the fifth row on the grid at 15:00 on Saturday.
