Ferrari secured its first World Endurance Championship victory of 2026 at the Circuit of the Americas during the Lone Star Le Mans event. The result followed a late mechanical issue that forced the race-leading Toyota to retire with only 15 minutes remaining in the contest. The Toyota entry, driven by Nyck de Vries, Kamui Kobayashi and Mike Conway, had climbed from ninth on the starting grid to take the lead before the car suffered a hydraulic failure. The shift in momentum handed the win to Ferrari in the closing stages of the race.
