FERRARI DOMINATES FUJI 6 HOUR RACE - WEC 2022

Ferrari dominated the 6 Hours of Fuji, round five of the FIA World Endurance Championship. In the LMGTE Pro class, Ferrari claimed a one-two crucial for the world championship, with the Italian cars always in the top positions. The number 51 Ferrari 488 GTE with James Calado and Alessandro Pier Guidi was first over the finish line, ahead of the other AF Corse car, number 52, crewed by Antonio Fuoco and Miguel Molina. 

The result gives the Anglo-Italian duo a twelve-point lead over their rivals Kevin Estre and Michael Christensen, while the Italo-Spanish pair trail by twenty-seven points. Ferrari moved into the lead in the Constructors’ standings with 216 points ahead of the Sakhir round, which, being a longer eight-hour race, offers a bigger points haul. The reigning champions clinched their second win of the season, following that at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, celebrating on the Fuji podium as they did in 2017, a year that ended with the world title win. 

The World Endurance Championship will be back in the spotlight with the season’s last event at the 8 Hours of Bahrain on the weekend of 12-13 November.
