Sharing driving duties with Ayhancan Güven and Frédéric Makowiecki, the Porsche factory trio remained in podium contention throughout the 24-hour contest before crossing the line just a few seconds behind the winning Lionspeed GP Porsche after 541 laps.
Christian Mansell completed his Spa 24 Hours debut with 23rd outright and 6th in the Silver Cup. The Team Motopark Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO, shared with Levente Révész, Yannick Mettler and Rui Andrade, overcame the demands of the enduro classic to finish the race.

Calan Williams was less fortunate on track with Century Motorsport, recording a DNF prior to the halfway point of the session.

Formula 1 – Spielberg
Oscar Piastri delivered another composed performance at the Austrian Grand Prix, recovering from a disappointing qualifying session to finish fourth at the Red Bull Ring.
The Australian showed encouraging pace throughout practice, ending Friday second fastest in Free Practice 2 behind championship leader Kimi Antonelli.
Qualifying, however, proved tougher than expected.
Piastri could only manage seventh on the grid after struggling to extract the same pace. Despite the setback, he remained optimistic that the car’s race pace would allow him to move forward on Sunday.
Piastri made an excellent start and steadily worked his way through the field, using McLaren’s strong tyre management and race pace to climb into fourth.
While Mercedes’ George Russell held off Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli for victory, Piastri spent much of the afternoon maximising his strategy and capitalising on opportunities as the race unfolded.
He crossed the line in fourth, narrowly missing the podium but collected 12 valuable championship points.
Next up for Piastri will be the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, to take place from 3-5 July.
Formula 3 – Spielberg
James Wharton displayed one of his strongest weekends of the 2026 FIA Formula 3 season at Spielberg, displaying impressive pace from qualifying through to both races, despite falling short of the podiums.
The Australian put himself in a strong position on Friday by qualifying 12th, which secured reverse-grid pole position for Saturday’s Sprint Race.
Wharton made the most of his opportunity in the Sprint Race, converting pole position into an early lead and controlling proceedings throughout much of the race.
He looked likely to secure his third Formula 3 victory before heartbreak struck in the closing laps.
Running second after being overtaken late, Wharton made a small mistake on the penultimate lap that allowed another rival through, dropping him to fourth at the chequered flag.
Despite missing the podium, the PREMA Racing driver was encouraged by the team’s improved pace and believed the weekend marked a significant step forward.
Starting 12th in Sunday’s Feature Race, Wharton once again demonstrated strong race craft as he worked his way through the field.
He gained several positions in a clean and measured drive to finish seventh, adding more valuable championship points.
6 Hours of The Glen – Watkins Glen
Tom Sargent celebrated a podium finish in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship after helping Wright Motorsports secure second place in the GTD class at the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen International.
Sharing the No. 120 Porsche 911 GT3 R with Adam Adelson and Elliott Skeer, the Australian produced a strong endurance drive on the weekend.
After a productive lead-up through practice, the Wright Motorsports crew qualified strongly in the highly competitive GTD field.
The race itself was an interesting affair, featuring nine full-course cautions, changing strategies and relentless traffic. Sargent navigated the chaos while avoiding the incidents that caught out several rivals.
While the overall honours went to Cadillac Whelen Racing in the GTP class, Sargent, Adelson and Skeer capped off an impressive weekend by claiming second in GTD, adding another strong result to Sargent’s growing IMSA résumé.
