BMW second in WEC Hypercar manufacturers' standings

BMW M Motorsport's Andreas Roos said the manufacturer "can be proud" of finishing runner-up in the FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar manufacturers' title. The German marque and Belgian Team WRT achieved their best season since debuting in 2024 with the BMW M Hybrid V8, winning twice and taking three further podiums.

BMW came less than 11 seconds from victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the No. 20 car of Sheldon van der Linde, Rene Rast and Robin Frijns. At the season-ending 6 Hours of Monza, the No. 15 car of Kevin Magnussen was handed a drive-through penalty for passing under a yellow flag, while the No. 20 car suffered an electrical issue that caused spins and off-track excursions for Frijns.

The No. 15 crew of Magnussen and Raffaele Marciello finished third in the drivers' championship, four points ahead of Frijns and Rast. WRT team principal Vincent Vosse said the team needed to improve in the area of technical reliability for 2027.
