BMW M Team WRT scores dominant 1-2 at Six Hours of Spa-Francorchamps

The #20 BMW M Team WRT claimed victory at the 2026 Six Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, the second round of the World Endurance Championship. Robin Frijns took the chequered flag just under two seconds ahead of team-mate Kevin Magnussen in the #15 car, securing a dominant 1-2 finish for the Bavarian brand. Antonio Fuoco rounded out the Hypercar podium in the #50 Ferrari AF Corse entry, with the #007 Aston Martin and #7 Toyota completing the top five.

Why it matters:

This result cements BMW’s early season momentum in the Hypercar class. After a strong debut in Qatar, the M Team WRT squad has shown it can not only compete but control races against established manufacturers like Ferrari, Toyota, and Aston Martin. A 1-2 at a classic circuit like Spa sends a clear message to the paddock.

The details:

• The #20 BMW driven by Frijns, Rast, and van der Linde led from the front, managing tire wear and traffic efficiently across the six hours.
• The #15 BMW of Magnussen, Marciello, and Vanthoor stayed close but could not find a way past, settling for second.
• Ferrari’s #50 car (Fuoco, Molina, Nielsen) held off the charging #007 Aston Martin for the final podium spot.
• Toyota’s #7 (Conway, Kobayashi, De Vries) finished fifth, ahead of the #83 AF Corse Ferrari. Peugeot’s #93 came seventh, while Genesis Magma Racing impressed with eighth on debut at Spa.
• In LMGT3, Vista AF Corse’s #21 Ferrari (Heriau, Mann, Rovera) took the win, ahead of the #10 Garage 59 McLaren and the #27 Heart of Racing Aston Martin.

What’s next:

The WEC season continues with the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June, where BMW will look to replicate this form over the full day. With momentum on their side, the team must now prove the Spa result was no one-off on the world’s biggest endurance stage.
