Monza 08 November 2026
The 2026 FIA WEC season drew to a close at Autodromo Nazionale Monza, which welcomed more than 75,000 Tifosi and motorsport enthusiasts over the weekend. Vista – AF Corse’s Ferrari 296 LMGT3 Evo number 21, crewed by Ferrari official driver Alessio Rovera, Simon Mann and François Hériau, finished ninth* in the final race of the year, held on a dry track after several days of rain. The sister car number 54, shared by Thomas Flohr, Francesco Castellacci and fellow Ferrari driver Davide Rigon, was forced to retire halfway through the race.
* In the hours following the race, following a penalty imposed on another car, car number 21 moved up to eighth place
The race. Flohr started from 15th, while Hériau lined up at the back of the field after yesterday’s unfortunate qualifying session. The track was slightly damp at the start, with a surface temperature of around 12 °C and an air temperature of 10.7 °C. Both 296 LMGT3 Evo cars gained a few positions. Number 21 climbed towards the top ten during the stints of Mann and Rovera, with the latter crossing the line in ninth.
However, car number 54 retired with a technical problem during Castellacci’s stint, before Ferrari official driver Davide Rigon could take the wheel.
The statistics. Today’s ninth-place finish means the Ferrari 296 LMGT3 Evo number 21 scored points in every race this season except Fuji; its best results were fourths at Spa-Francorchamps and COTA. Number 54’s best result of the year was fourth in the 6 Hours of Fuji.
