The No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo, driven by factory drivers Alessio Rovera and Nicklas Nielsen alongside Tommaso Mosca, finished third overall despite overcoming two punctures that derailed its bid for victory. Rovera added pole position, the race’s fastest lap (2:17.340), and his third consecutive Spa podium.

Ferrari’s second Pro entry, the No. 50 AF Corse car of Lilou Wadoux-Ducellier, Arthur Leclerc and Sean Gelael, recovered from a post-qualifying grid penalty and an early-race incident to finish fifth overall.

In the classes, Kessel Racing repeated its 2025 Bronze Cup triumph with the No. 74 Ferrari driven by Dustin Blattner, Mathys Jaubert, Dennis Marschall and Ben Tuck. Rinaldi Racing claimed Silver Cup honors with Rafael Duran, Dylan Medler, David Perel and Alessandro Balzan, while AF Corse’s No. 52 Ferrari completed the Silver Cup podium in third.

The race, run in sweltering conditions with air temperatures reaching 35°C, attracted 132,000 spectators and featured 10 Safety Car periods and 14 Full Course Yellow interruptions. Ferrari’s third consecutive overall Spa podium follows second- and third-place finishes with the 296 GT3 in 2024 and 2025, and this year’s podium with the updated Evo model.

Elsewhere, AF Corse’s No. 70 Ferrari retired in the opening hour after a heavy crash in Pro-Am, JMW Motorsport’s Bronze Cup entry retired overnight with technical issues, and AF Corse’s No. 71 finished fourth in Gold Cup after serving multiple penalties.
