The FIA World Endurance Championship reconvenes for the next chapter of the 2026 season, the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, from 7 to 9 May. The second round of the championship marks Proton Competition\u2019s fourth race across five consecutive weekends \u2013 and a key opportunity to build on the positive foundations established by their pair of Ford Mustang LMGT3 entries at the season opener in Imola.<\/strong>
\u200a
Christian and Michael Ried\u2019s team travel to Belgium with good omens after their LMGT3 podium at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps in 2025<\/a>. Ben Tuck, who will be sharing the #77 Ford Mustang LMGT3 with Sebastian Priaulx and Eric Powell, is looking forward to getting out on track at a circuit he loves.
\u200a
\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that Spa is one of my favourite circuits, so I can\u2019t wait to get going,\u201d said the 29-year-old Brit. \u201cLast year we showed really great potential with a great result and the whole team is looking to build on that momentum. After our top-10 finish at the first round in Italy, we know that we have a strong package. If we perform to our best, we will be in the hunt for the podium once again.\u201d
\u200a
In the sister #88 Ford Mustang LMGT3, Stefano Gattuso, Giammarco Levorato and former F1 driver Logan Sargeant will be aiming to lay down a marker with another strong qualifying performance and solid points haul after a promising weekend last time out in Italy.
\u200a
The latest round of the FIA World Endurance Championship at the legendary seven-kilometre circuit in the Ardennes hills is traditionally one of the best attended on the calendar and is once again expected to attract a bumper crowd this year. Fans looking to follow the action from home can catch both qualifying and the race live and in full on FIA WEC+<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
