The 2024 FIA WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps final result has been confirmed after Ferrari’s appeal was rejected by the FIA International Court of Appeal. The No. 12 Hertz Team JOTA Porsche driven by Will Stevens and Callum Ilott has officially been declared the winner of the race. The controversy stemmed from a decision to restart the race following Earl Bamber’s incident in the Cadillac Racing V-Series. Ferrari AF Corse’s appeal against the final result was rejected by the stewards. The AF Corse Ferrari, which led before the red flag, and other Hypercars had to pit for fuel during the restarted race, leading to the Porsche’s victory. The rejection of the appeal was based on procedural grounds outlined in the FIA International Sporting Code. The detailed judgment is available for review.
