Toyota Gazoo Racing defended its Hypercar championship title on its home turf with a 1-2 finish; the #7 GR010 is the winner and the #8 is the second placer, while the #6 Porsche Penske finished 3rd. In the LMP2 class, the #41 Team WRT wins while the #54 AF CORSE 488 GT3 Evo wins the LM GTE AM class.

Having won five out of six races this season, Toyota Gazoo Racing retained its world championship status for the third time in the Hypercar class. The fight for this season's LMP2 championship title is still too close to call for Team WRT.

The 11th season of the FIA World Endurance Championship concludes with the 8 Hours of Bahrain on November 2nd. Toyota and Corvette got their championship titles but will Team WRT emerge victorious for the LMP2 class title? Don't miss it!
