After an eight-round campaign spanning four continents, Proton Competition heads to Monza for the final event of the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship. Christian and Michael Ried\u2019s team is determined to bring its season to a positive conclusion, with a strong result at the 6 Hours of Monza (6 to 8 November) firmly in its sights.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no changes to the German squad\u2019s driver line-ups for the season finale. Eric Powell, Ben Tuck and Sebastian Priaulx will once again share the #77 entry, while Stefano Gattuso, Giammarco Levorato and Logan Sargeant team up in the #88 car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most iconic venues in international motorsport, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza presents a fresh challenge for Proton Competition, with the Ford Mustang LMGT3 yet to make its FIA WEC debut at the Italian circuit. Its long straights and heavy braking zones will provide an interesting test, making the team\u2019s preparations and ability to find the right set-up from the outset particularly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to be heading into the final race of the season at Monza, especially as it\u2019s my home race,\u201d said Gattuso. \u201cI live less than an hour from the circuit, so I\u2019ll have plenty of family and friends there supporting me, which makes the weekend even more special. Monza is a track I really enjoy \u2013 it\u2019s fast, suits my driving style and, with its high-speed layout and low-downforce demands, should play to the Mustang LMGT3\u2019s strengths. We\u2019ll be giving it everything to fight for a podium and hopefully end the season on a high.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a fifth-place finish representing its best result of the season so far, Proton Competition arrives in Italy determined to turn its potential into a tangible result. A campaign marked by promising performances, frustrating near-misses and unfortunate setbacks has left the team eager to see its hard work rewarded. The objective is clear: put everything together over the six hours and finish the season on a high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The race will be broadcast live in its entirety on free-to-air channel Eurosport 1 in Germany. Fans can also follow all the action at home via the FIAWEC+<\/a> live stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
