Toyota wins at Fuji as Magnussen shares BMW podium
Toyota came from eighth on the grid to win the Six Hours of Fuji, while former F1 driver Kevin Magnussen shared a third-placed BMW.
Toyota’s No. 8 crew of Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa won the Hypercar race at the 2026 Six Hours of Fuji after starting eighth. Hirakawa took the chequered flag for the team’s home victory.
The No. 36 Alpine, which Victor Martins had started from pole, finished second in changeable conditions. Former Formula 1 driver Kevin Magnussen shared the third-placed No. 15 BMW with Raffaele Marciello and Dries Vanthoor; Vanthoor drove the final stint.
In LMGT3, Team WRT’s No. 32 headed the published results, but contact investigations involving that car and the third-placed No. 34 meant the class positions could still change.
