Fuji Speedway in Japan hosted a round of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) on September 27, 2026. The six-hour race, the sixth of eight rounds in the season, featured major competitive entries from Toyota Racing, BMW, and Ferrari.

Toyota Racing secured a dramatic victory at the 6 Hours of Fuji with its #8 crew, comprising Ryō Hirakawa, Sebastian Buemi, and Brendon Hartley. The win was decided following a late safety car deployment, which allowed Toyota to overtake the Alpine Endurance Racing #36 crew by a margin of just 0.591 seconds. This result marks Toyota’s first victory at its home race in three years and places the #8 crew in the lead of the 2026 WEC Hypercar competition.

In addition to the racing, the event included a visit from three-time Formula One World Champion Sir Jackie Stewart. Returning to Japan 60 years after his victory at the Fuji 200, Stewart waved the green flag in support of his charity, Race Against Dementia, which aims to address the global impact of dementia.
