Toyota scored a 2023 FIAWEC hat-trick of wins, but Ferrari appears to be edging closer to the front. Here are the 10 things we learned from the WEC 6 Hours of Spa. ⬇️
fell just short of denying Catsburg’s Corvette the win after a tense battle in the closing laps, but there was no question of the outcome at Spa as the Italian stroked home to an 18.653s victory set up by a storming double stint from Wadoux.

Aston Martin’s struggles in the opening two races of the season meant following up Ahmad al-Harthy’s maiden series pole with third place in the race “was a bit of a dream really” for Ferrier.
