1Who Leads the 2026 FIA WEC Team Standings?
BMW M Team WRT’s #20 car tops the 2026 FIA WEC team standings with 79 points, four ahead of Toyota Racing’s #7 entry on 75. Toyota’s #8 car and Ferrari AF Corse’s #51 share third with 56 points each, while Cadillac Hertz Team Jota’s #12 sits sixth on 41 points.

The four-point gap between BMW’s #20 car and Toyota’s #7 entry shows how tight scoring stays across a season built on points allocation rules shared across FIA-run championships. Ferrari AF Corse’s #51 and Toyota’s #8 sit level on 56 points, a tie that mirrors the kind of season-long parity tracked in season statistics for drivers and constructors. Alpine Endurance Team’s #35 car rounds out the group with 29 points, trailing the top six by a wide margin. Cadillac Hertz Team Jota’s #12 sits sixth with 41 points, a result tied to the split performance detailed further down.
2How Does the Manufacturers’ Championship Compare to the Team Standings?
Toyota leads the Hypercar Manufacturers’ Championship with 132 points, 36 clear of BMW’s 96. Ferrari sits third on 62 points, Cadillac fourth with 32, and Genesis trails the group with 6 points, according to autohebdof1.com’s 2026 season data, rounding out the top five manufacturers.

Toyota’s manufacturer tally outpaces its individual team results, since points from both the #7 and #8 cars combine under one manufacturer banner, unlike the separate entries tracked in the driver and constructor standings for other series. BMW’s 96 points reflect the shared output of the #20 and #15 cars, the latter of which won at Interlagos as detailed later in this piece. Ferrari AF Corse’s 62 points sit closer to Cadillac’s 32 than to BMW’s total, and Genesis remains at the back of the manufacturer order with just 6 points through four rounds. The wide gap between Toyota and Genesis shows how much a single result like Le Mans can separate manufacturers, a pattern also visible in how points get awarded across FIA championships.
3Who Leads the 2026 WEC Drivers’ Standings?
René Rast and Robin Frijns lead the 2026 WEC drivers’ standings with 79 points, matching their BMW M Team WRT car’s total in the team rankings. Toyota’s trio of Kobayashi, Conway, and De Vries sit four points back on 75, keeping the title fight open through four rounds.

|---|---|---|
| René Rast / Robin Frijns driver points | 79 points | Motorsport Standings |

Rast and Frijns share every point scored by the #20 car, a direct link between the driver and team tables that mirrors how teammate scoring works across other championships. Toyota’s three-driver lineup of Kobayashi, Conway, and De Vries splits duties across a single entry, a format that differs from the two-driver approach used by BMW’s title contenders. The four-point margin between the two crews at the front matches the same gap separating their cars in the team standings, showing no crossover scoring quirks this season. Fans comparing this order to other 2026 championships can check the WRC drivers’ standings for a parallel look at a different discipline.
4What Does the 2026 WEC Season Calendar Look Like?
The 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship is the fourteenth edition of the series, run by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest across eight rounds for Hypercar and LMGT3 classes. Four rounds have been completed so far, including São Paulo and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Running eight rounds for Hypercar and LMGT3 cars, the fourteenth edition of the FIA World Endurance Championship gives BMW, Toyota, Ferrari, Cadillac, and Genesis eight chances to add manufacturer points before the season closes. Organizers spaced this year’s marquee events, including São Paulo, in a structure that echoes the approach seen in the 2026 World Rally Championship schedule. Starting in 2026, the FIA and Automobile Club de l’Ouest stopped publishing public Balance of Performance tables, sharing weight, power, and energy figures with teams directly instead. That shift toward private technical data lines up with changes tracked in WRC technical regulation updates for the same season, where organizers have also limited public disclosure of setup details.
5Who Won the Brazil Round at Interlagos?
BMW M Team WRT’s #15 car won the Brazil round at Interlagos, with Kevin Magnussen, Raffaele Marciello, and Dries Vanthoor completing 242 laps ahead of Ferrari AF Corse. Cadillac Hertz Team Jota’s #12 entry finished third at the same event.

Magnussen, Marciello, and Vanthoor’s 242-lap win at Interlagos gave BMW’s #15 car a result separate from the points battle led by the team’s #20 entry, showing how BMW M Team WRT scores across two distinct crews. Ferrari AF Corse finished behind the winning BMW car, a result that lines up with Ferrari’s #51 entry sitting mid-table in the season-long team standings covered above. Cadillac Hertz Team Jota’s #12 car took third at Interlagos, a finish that fits the race-by-race breakdown style used in historical race-by-race performance data. Readers who follow post-event breakdowns in other series can find a similar format in post-event rally analysis coverage.
