FIA World Endurance Championship

Robert Kubica returns to the 24 Hours of Le Mans with AF Corse Ferrari, aiming to defend last year’s victory in the 499P hypercar. The 41-year-old frames this sixth start as a rare chance to race again at La Sarthe as a reigning winner.

Toyota top the official Le Mans test but warn against reading the times at face value, accusing rival Hypercar manufacturers of hiding their true pace on the straights. The row sharpens focus on mind games and Balance of Performance politics before endurance racing’s showpiece.
