Monza – The two Ferrari 296 LMGT3 Evo cars from the Vista – AF Corse team will start the 2026 FIA WEC finale at Monza from the eighth row and from the back of the grid. Qualifying on November 7 was a mixed bag for cars No. 54 and No. 21.
Car No. 54, driven by Davide Rigon, Francesco Castellacci, and Thomas Flohr, secured the 15th starting position. The sister car, No. 21, driven by Alessio Rovera, Simon Mann, and François Hériau, will start from last place.
Accident in Qualifying for Car No. 21
After Alessio Rovera set the fastest lap time in the LMGT3 class during the third free practice session, qualifying got off to an unfortunate start for car No. 21. François Hériau ran off the track and collided with the barriers, forcing the car to end the session early. After a red flag period to recover the damaged Ferrari 296 LMGT3 Evo, the session resumed.
Thomas Flohr, driving car No. 54, steadily improved his performance on a track that was gradually drying out. He completed seven laps and set a best time of 1:51.315 minutes, which earned him the 15th starting position. The 6-hour race at Monza begins tomorrow, Sunday, November 8, at 11 a.m. local time.
