Let’s get started!
Finally, here we are! After a long wait since last November, the WEC will officially start this weekend at the ‘Enzo e Dino Ferrari’ Autodrome, initially not planned as the venue for the first event of the season. However, the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East and the consequent cancellation of the 1812 km of Qatar led the organizers to cancel the race in Lusail, making the 6 Hours of Imola the first round of the 2026 world championship.

Rain risk?
Ferrari will therefore be called to defend the Hypercar Drivers’ and Constructors’ titles in front of its home crowd, who will attend the stands of the Santerno without the fear of having to bring an umbrella. According to the forecasts provided by accuweather.com, in fact, the chances of rain will be very low both on Friday and Saturday, with partly cloudy skies and maximum temperatures around 24°. A higher chance of precipitation only during the race, with the start scheduled at 13:00, but still below 30%.
