What we’ve learned as the ACO unveils the full-season entry list for the 2026 World Endurance Championship
The ACO has recently revealed the complete full-season entry list for the 2026 World Endurance Championship, with 35 cars on the grid.
The major headline is the absence of Porsche, not represented even by a privateer entry, as reported previously by The Race.
Despite Porsche’s exit, some highlights include the arrival of Genesis Magma Racing with two GMR-001s, bringing the total number of cars to 35, with 17 Hypercars and 18 LMGT3 entries.
Stability prevails with Toyota, Ferrari, BMW, and Aston Martin retaining unchanged driver line-ups, while Cadillac brings in Jack Aitken to replace Jenson Button.
Valentino Rossi officially steps away from WEC, focusing on GT World Challenge Europe, leaving behind a successful LMGT3 campaign with BMW.
Logan Sargeant, a former Williams F1 driver, is expected to join the 2026 WEC season with a Ford Mustang GT3 run by Proton Competition, following his recent testing experiences at Bahrain.
