Akkodis ASP still working to continue in WEC with GR GT3

Akkodis ASP team boss Jerome Policand says he is still finalising commercial arrangements to keep the squad in the FIA World Endurance Championship next season. The team has raced the Lexus RC F GT3 in the LMGT3 class since joining the WEC in 2024, and the Monza finale was the last outing for the Lexus in the series.

Policand said he would like to run Toyota's new GR GT3 in 2027, describing it as a dream, and that the deadline for the contract is the end of November. He added that securing the car was not a particular concern, as the focus was on the wider contract, including talks with lead sponsor Akkodis.

Driver plans are also being considered, with Tom Van Rompuy having indicated he intends to stay, while Petru Umbrarescu has said on social media that he will likely not continue with the team. Policand also said a return to GT World Challenge Europe was unlikely before 2028 at the earliest.
