Great success for BMW in the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, with the Bavarian manufacturer securing its first WEC victory celebrating a historic one-two finish right at the home race of the WRT team. A podium celebration that joins that of Ferrari #50, which finished third after a nice comeback in a decidedly difficult weekend for the Maranello house, with the arrival of the 499 of the AF Corse team #83 in eighth position and the #51 even forced to retire. Toyota also struggled, both outside the top 5, where Aston Martin #009 instead reached fifth place behind Alpine #35. Also noteworthy is the first points finish for Genesis, in its second WEC race. Awaiting the 24 Hours of Le Mans, BMW rises to the top of the Constructors’ Championship, with René Rast and Robin Frijns themselves new leaders of the Drivers’ World Championship. A complex race for Ferrari also in the LMGT3 class, despite Alessio Rovera crossing the finish line in first position; the five-second penalty imposed on him reshuffled the cards, with the McLaren #10 drivers finishing on the top step of the podium. In the Drivers’ standings, Pera, Lietz and Shahin take the lead at the wheel of the Porsche #92 of the The Bend Manthey team, also leading the team standings.
