2026 Le Mans winner Mike Conway and his Toyota Racing team are heading to Brazil for the latest round of the World Endurance Championship season.

Conway and the team overcame adversity and an ultra-competitive Hypercar field to win the 94th Le Mans 24 Hours last month, its sixth victory in the legendary French race.

A double podium also helped TOYOTA RACING move into the lead of the manufacturers’ World Championship by 36 points.

Victory for Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries at La Sarthe elevated the #7 TR010 HYBRID crew to the lead of the drivers’ standings, and they take a four-point advantage into the South American round of the WEC calendar.

Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryō Hirakawa are also in the title fight, just 19 points adrift of their team-mates, after finishing third at Le Mans in the #8 TR010 HYBRID. They travel to Brazil aiming to win for the second time this year, following their victory in the season-opening 6 Hours of Imola.

The 4.309km, anti-clockwise Interlagos circuit presents a unique engineering challenge. The relatively high altitude of over 700 metres negatively impacts engine performance and downforce levels, meaning the free practice sessions are particularly important to adjust car settings prior to the race.

TOYOTA RACING has a positive record from its five races so far in Brazil, with two pole positions and two victories to its name. The team’s challenge to win its third race of the season will begin on Friday 10 July with two free practice sessions. Qualifying takes place on Saturday (3.25pm local time, 8.25pm CEST) to set the grid for Sunday’s race, which begins at 11.30am local time (4.30pm CEST).

Away from the action in Brazil, the Le Mans-winning #7 TR010 HYBRID – in the same condition as it crossed the line in La Sarthe – will be on static display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Great Britain.

Speaking ahead of the weekend, Conway said: “It’s good to be racing again so soon after Le Mans because it gives us a chance to keep the positive momentum going.

“Le Mans was a long, hard event but we all pulled together as a team and got the win in the end. We’ll bring that same team spirit to this race and hopefully get a similar result.”
