Championship Battle in the Desert: Champions to be Crowned at WEC Season Finale

At the final round of the FIA World Endurance Championship season, three manufacturers battled for the world title. The Bapco Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain from November 6–8 at the Bahrain International Circuit was the climax of a captivating season.

Corvette's LMGT3 Title Fight

Beyond the Hypercar drama, there was an exciting three-way battle in the LMGT3 class featuring Corvette Racing. Charlie Eastwood, Rui Andrade and Tom Van Rompuy's sensational victory at Fuji meant their #81 Corvette Z06 GT3.R went into the desert finale just 24 points off the championship lead.

12 months ago in Bahrain, victory went to the #81 Corvette – could TF Sport's yellow-and-black machine spring another surprise in the title finale?

The race took place on Saturday, November 8, at 14:00 local time (12:00 CET).
