After the 6h Sao Paulo: A look at the FIA WEC championship standings

The fourth race weekend of the 2026 FIA WEC came to an end last weekend. Victory in the 6-hour race at Interlagos (São Paulo, Brazil) went to Kevin Magnussen, Raffaele Marciello and Dries Vanthoor in the BMW M Hybrid V8. This means that Marciello and Magnussen are now in sixth place in the standings with 50 points. (Vanthoor missed the Imola round and has 44 points). More good news for BMW: team-mates Robin Frijns and René Rast lead the standings. Thanks to second place at Le Mans, victory at Spa-Francorchamps, fifth place at Imola and now eighth place at Interlagos, they currently have 75 points to their name.

Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries in the Toyota TR010 Hybrid also have 75 points. Their highlight was undoubtedly victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. However, they failed to score any points in their most recent race in Brazil. Sheldon van der Linde, who drives the BMW alongside Frijns and Rast, is third in the standings. He sat out the Imola race and has accumulated a total of 65 points.

Currently in fourth place are James Calado, Antonio Giovinazzi and Alessandro Pier Guidi in the Ferrari 499P with 57 points. They finished second at Imola and, most recently, in Brazil. Rounding out the top five are Brendon Hartley, Ryo Hirakawa and Sébastien Buemi, who drive the second Toyota. Their highlights were victory at the season opener in Imola and third place at Le Mans. They have 56 points.

In the manufacturers’ championship, the rule is that two cars per make are counted. Privately entered cars (currently just the yellow Ferrari 499P from AF Corse) are not eligible for points. Toyota leads the manufacturers’ championship with 132 points, with BMW in second place on 127 points, ahead of Ferrari on 88 points and Cadillac on 60 points. Alpine has collected 41 points and sits in fifth place. The next FIA WEC race is scheduled for 6 September 2026 in Austin, Texas (USA).
