The first half of the season, concluded with the archive of the first race of this extra-European championship, ended with the victory of the BMW #15 of Magnussen, Marciello and Vanthoor, with the drivers allowing the German manufacturer to achieve its second win in 2026. The team had already secured first place in the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, but on that occasion the top step of the podium was taken by Frijns, Rast and Van der Linde. However, the Bavarian team does not lead the Constructors’ standings; ahead of all, albeit with a 5-point gap, is Toyota, winner at Imola and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, also here with a different trio of drivers. In the French race, the most coveted victory was claimed by Conway, Kobayashi and De Vries, who currently share the top of the drivers’ standings on equal points with Rast and Frijns at 75 points. In LMGT3, despite a lackluster performance in Brazil, the leaders of the Drivers and Teams standings remain the trio of the Corvette TF Sport #33, all awaiting the next world championship round in the United States, where the 6 Hours of Austin will take place on the weekend from September 4 to 6.
