During the 6 Hours of Barcelona, a penultimate round of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), multiple classes saw significant results. In the LMGT3 class, the Manthey Porsche 992 GT3-R EVO, driven by Yasser Shahin, Richard Lietz, and Riccardo Pera, secured a victory, maintaining a competitive championship battle against TF Sport Corvette. Ferrari's Vista AF Corse also saw competitive action; driver Alessio Rovera led a recovery drive from 13th position to help the team secure a fifth-place finish, leaving the trio with 64 points in the standings. In the Hypercar category, Toyota Racing clinched its eighth manufacturers’ title following a one-two finish. This victory marks the first manufacturers' championship for the team under its new Toyota Racing branding and the first for the TR010 Hybrid model. The #8 Toyota crew, consisting of Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley, and Ryo Hirakawa, won the race by a margin of 0.583 seconds over the #7 Toyota led by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi, and Nyck de Vries. The race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya involved changing weather conditions, starting on a wet track before drying, and included multiple safety car interventions. The #8 car also navigated a five-second penalty due to a start infringement. The #50 Ferrari 499P completed the podium in third place. While the manufacturers' championship is settled, the drivers' title remains contested. The #8 crew holds a 17-point lead over the #7 crew heading into the season finale at Monza on November 8.
