Provisional starting grid for the FIA WEC 6 Hours of Monza now announced

No sooner has the FIA WEC 6-hour race in Barcelona finished than the World Endurance Championship is already looking ahead to the next event, which will take place at the Monza circuit from 6 to 8 November 2026 and will also serve as the season finale. The WEC has now published an initial provisional starting grid for the event – and it shows no changes compared to Barcelona.

As usual, the Hypercar class will feature 17 cars from the eight manufacturers: Alpine, Aston Martin, BMW, Cadillac, Ferrari, Genesis, Peugeot and Toyota. The two Aston Martin Valkyries will continue to be fielded with driver duos. In Italy, too, Tom Gamble and Harry Tincknell, as well as Alex Riberas and Marco Soerensen, will once again be sharing driving duties. Alpine is also sticking with two-driver line-ups, with Ferdinand Habsburg and Charles Milesi in one A424 and Jules Gounon and Victor Martins in the sister car.

All other cars are fielding trios of drivers. This includes the two Toyota TR010 Hybrids, one with Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries, and the other with Brendon Hartley, Ryo Hirakawa and Sébastien Buemi. Only these two trios are still in contention for the drivers’ title. In the Manufacturers’ Championship, Toyota have already been crowned champions ahead of schedule following their triumph in Barcelona.

The event at Monza is also special for Mike Conway. The Briton is competing in his final race before retiring. There are also no changes to the driver line-ups in the LMGT3 class. The nine manufacturers – Aston Martin, BMW, Corvette, Ferrari, Ford, Lexus, McLaren, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche – are each represented by two cars on the grid. As things stand, the same drivers will be competing as in the most recent race in Barcelona. The WEC has published the provisional entry list here.
