The 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship roars to life this weekend at the legendary Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy. Mark your calendars for April 17-19, as the iconic circuit hosts the season-opening 6 Hours of Imola, setting the stage for a thrilling year of elite sports car competition.

With the Qatar round rescheduled, the championship kicks off with a sprint of three European races, putting immediate pressure on teams and drivers to perform. All eyes will be on Ferrari, the reigning Hypercar champions, who enter their home race as clear favorites following a dominant 2025 season that included another historic victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The #51 Ferrari 499P crew of Alessandro Pier Guidi, Antonio Giovinazzi, and James Calado will look to defend their 2025 Imola win, but expect fierce challenges from rivals like Toyota, Porsche, and Cadillac in what promises to be a spectacular multi-class battle.
