Ferrari crews win a double in the 1000 km Paul Ricard race
France hosted the second round of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.
In France, the second stage of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup was held – the 6-hour marathon “1000 km Paul Ricard” and Ferrari cars won the second victory in it over the past three years.
In the first stint, Akkodis ASP’s No. 88 Mercedes took the lead, but in one of the rounds of pit stops, Iron Lynx’s No. 71 Ferrari left Davide Rigon for the second consecutive shift, and this allowed him to lead the race. The No. 88 Mercedes was later fined twice for pit stop violations, and Ferrari’s other rival, the No. 32 Audi crew, which won the season opener, ran into trouble after colliding with a lap car.
As a result, Iron Lynx took two first places: Daniel Serra, Davide Rigon and Antonio Fuoco in Ferrari No. 71 celebrated the victory, and Niklas Nielsen, James Calado and Miguel Molina in Ferrari No. 51 became the second. Akkodis ASP’s Mercedes No. 88 crew of Raffaele Marchiello, Daniel Juncadella and Jules Gounon finished third, ahead of Rowe Racing’s BMW and the crew of the famous ex-motorcycle racer Valentino Rossi, whose Audi No. 46 finished fifth.
Al-Faisal Al-Zubair, Axil Jeffreys and Fabian Schiller, pilots of the Al Manar Racing by HRT team, won the Silver Cup standings, while the Akkodis ASP crew, which included Konstantin Tereshchenko in Imola, became the second – this time instead of a Russian, the Frenchman Thomas Drouet was driving.
Among the Gold Cup crews, there was no equal trio of Inception Racing consisting of Oliver Millroy, Brendan Iribe and Frederik Shandorff. In this class, seventh place was won by Russian Alex Malykhin and his crew partners James Dorlin and Ben Barker in Allied Racing’s Porsche No.

For one more season, 19 in a row from 2007, Toni Bou, together with Busto and Marcelli, achieved their annual goal of winning titles in all outdoor and indoor competitions: Montesa Cota 4RT, X Trial, Trial GP and Trial of Nations. The Repsol Honda Team rider has taken his world title tally to 38 and, if the back tendon injury does not interfere with the indoor competition in 2025-26, where he is already in the lead, he will set off for his next year in 2026, which will be an “incredible challenge to achieve 40 titles at the age of 40”.
In 2025, one of the “greatest players”, Adam Raga, six-time world champion from 2003 to 2006 and historical rival of Toni Bowe, retired. He passes the baton to Jaime Busto and Gabriel Marcelli.
Josep Garcia also won a pair of enduro titles. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider Josep Garcia reconfirmed his EnduroGP and E1 world titles and led the prestigious ISDE to become a great world leader in the specialty field. The 29-year-old Suria rider has won seven world titles: four in E1 (2017, 2023, 2024, 2025), one in E2 (2021) and two in EnduroGP (2024 and 2025).

Two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso added the new high-performance SUV Aston Martin DBX S to his car collection. The driver took delivery of the car, valued at more than $260,000, a few days before Christmas in Monte Carlo, where he was photographed next to the new product near the Aston Martin dealership in Monaco.
Powered by Mercedes’ 727 horsepower 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, the DBX S reaches 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. The new SUV joins Alonso’s collection, which already includes the Aston Martin Valiant and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR.
With 2026 rule changes approaching, Alonso and Aston Martin hope the new DBX S will signal the beginning of better times. The team’s new technical partnership with Honda and Adrian Newey’s experience pave the way for Aston Martin to challenge for top spot next season.

Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton has admitted he has had to significantly change his daily training regime as he gets older to cope with the physical and mental demands of the World Championship. The 40-year-old Ferrari driver is preparing for his 20th season in F1 and is the second oldest driver on the grid after Fernando Alonso.
The Briton stated that his preparation is now much tighter than at the beginning of his career, with recovery playing a key role in maintaining a competitive level.
“The regime has changed, it has improved. I still love running. This morning I ran 6 to 8 miles. Then I took an ice bath. But above all, the first thing I do as soon as I get out of bed is stretch,” Hamilton said.
According to the pilot, in order not to gain excessive weight, he limits strength training and prefers pilates, yoga and interval training. At the same time, there are two elements that he does not reject under any circumstances.
“Ice baths are not an option. Before, I didn’t really think about recovery: I just trained and got on with my life. Now stretching and ice baths are things I force myself to do every day,” Hamilton emphasized.
The seven-time champion athlete attaches great importance to mental health as well as physical training. He admitted that breathing exercises, meditation and yoga helped him cope with the stress of the 24-stage season.
The Ferrari driver concluded: “An ice bath teaches you to control your breathing and fight the urge to give up. This helps me stay positive throughout the year.”
