BMW M Team WRT wins the 2026 Six Hours of São Paulo at Interlagos, as the #15 Hypercar defeats Ferrari’s #51 by two seconds in a tense fourth WEC round.

Kevin Magnussen, Raffaele Marciello, and Dries Vanthoor share the winning BMW. Magnussen’s pace frames the day, echoing his 2024 Haas pole at the same venue.

Ferrari’s Antonio Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi chase relentlessly yet fall short. Their latest near-miss extends a pattern of narrow defeats after Ferrari’s Le Mans heartbreak.

Cadillac Hertz Team Jota secures third with the #12, finished by Will Stevens and Norman Nato. The #38 Jota and the #83 AF Corse Ferrari complete fourth and fifth.

Late drama at the Senna Esses reshapes the order. Antonio Fuoco’s #50 Ferrari spins after contact from Robin Frijns’s #20 BMW, dropping Ferrari to eighth.

BMW’s #15 beats Ferrari’s #51 by just two seconds after six relentless hours at Interlagos.

BMW’s victory rests on clean pit work, disciplined stints, and traffic management. Those fundamentals prove decisive amid a tightly controlled Balance of Performance that compresses the Hypercar field.

LMGT3 honours go to Racing Team Turkey by TF with the #34. Pipo Dempsey, Salih Yoluc, and Charlie Eastwood head the #69 Team WRT and #92 The Bend Manthey.

The result strengthens BMW’s title case while keeping Ferrari and Cadillac firmly in contention. Cadillac’s improved consistency reflects recent development work in Austria.

Cadillac places both Jota-run cars inside the top five, underlining its upward trajectory.

Interlagos rewards rhythm and punishes hesitation in traffic. BMW adapts best across mixed phases, converting track position into control as rival strategies converge in the closing stints.

With margins compressed, execution and reliability become decisive for the run-in. Trends since Le Mans suggest a championship likely defined by small wins rather than dominant weekends.

Racing Team Turkey’s #34 tops LMGT3 ahead of Team WRT’s #69 and The Bend Manthey’s #92.
