Ranking WEC's LMGT3 teams so far in 2026 - our verdict
Phil Oakley examines how the LMGT3 outfits have performed so far in 2026
You've heard us give our views on the how the Hypercar teams have performed so far in 2026, but now it's time for the LMGT3 class.
So without further ado, this is how we believe the LMGT3 teams have stacked up in the first four races.
Iron Lynx
No bones about it: Iron Lynx have struggled this year, their second with the Mercedes-AMG GT3. A best result of sixth last time out at Interlagos for the #61 car, of Rui Andrade, Martin Berry and Maxime Martin, gives them nine points, combined with the single point they took from Spa, the second round of the season.
The sister car, meanwhile, has a best result of 12th, at Imola. Both cars retired at Le Mans; ironically the Le Mans-only car, the Qatar-sponsored entry, did make it to the finish, albeit 12 laps down on the class winner in 48th position, the penultimate finisher.
Proton Competition
For a team with such illustrious success as Proton Competition in the past in WEC, you'd probably expect them to be doing better than they are.
Alas, the Ford customer team is struggling, with only 4 points finishes from both cars from eight potential opportunities.

The #88 machine of Stefano Gattuso, Giamarco Levorato and Logan Sargeant is the better-performing of the two, 19th in the championship with 14 points with a team-best finish of fifth at Interlagos.
The sister car has two points, from two 10th place finishes at Imola and Interlagos, alongside 16th at Spa and a retirement at Le Mans. The #88 did make the finish at Le Mans, but only in 11th.
Heart of Racing
Heart of Racing's LMGT3 highlights this year have been second at Spa and third at Le Mans, with opposing cars.
They haven't had much to write home about otherwise - ninth at Imola for the #23 car, then 13th at Imola, 3rd at Le Mans, and 18th at Interlagos.
The sister car has had it worse: two retirements, at Imola and Le Mans, plus a 2nd at Spa and 13th at Interlaglos.
Garage 59
New boys to WEC, Garage 59, are doing decently enough considering its their first season.
They almost took victory at Imola, but followed that up with a win at Spa, then a double points finish at Le Mans, eighth and 10th.
Interlagos was their first pointless race for both cars, although the #58 car didn't finish in the points first time out at Imola, despite qualifying on pole and leading for more than half the race.
Akkodis ASP
Eighth and ninth in the championship, but remarkably different seasons for the two Lexus machines.
Both point-less at Imola, the #87 has been on a points-scoring run since: sixth at Spa, fourth at Lre Mans, and seventh at Interlagos, totalling 38 points.
Just a single point less, on 37, is the #78 machine, but with a single points finish, second at Le Mans.
AF Corse
If you thought the ASP seasons for each car were different... oh boy, you're in for a ride with AF Corse.
The more successful of the two cars, the #21 of Francois Heriau, Simon Mann and Alessio Rovera have scored points in every round of the season so far, one of only three cars to do so.
Sixth at Imola, fourth in Belgium, fifth at Le Mans and ninth at Interlagos total 42 points.
The sister car, the #54, has had no points finishes all season, with a best of 11th at Imola. They retired from Le Mans and finished 17th in Interlagos.
Team WRT
WRT's #69 car won the first race of the season, in the first ever WEC start for Dan Harper and Parker Thompson, and Anthony McIntosh's first WEC race for WRT and only his fourth overall.
So far they haven't been able to follow up that up with a second win, but did come close at Interlagos, just over eight seconds off the winners, the #34 Racing Team Turkey by TF Corvette.
The sister car hasn't had as much fortune, witha best of fifth at Imola, plus seventh at Le Mans.
Manthey
The top Manthey car in the championship, the #92 The Bend-sponsored car, sits fourth in the championship, crewed by Richard Lietz, Riccardo Pera, and Yasser Shahin, who co-owns The Bend Motorsport Lark circuit in his native Australia, alongside his brother.
They've taken three third places in four races, at Imola, Spa and Interlagos, as well as ninth at Le Mans.
The sister car, the #91 machine with sponsorship from James Cottingham's DK Engineering company, sits 14th, with two fourths, at Imola and Interlagos, plus a seventh at Spa.
TF Sport
TF Sport have, so far, been the standout LMGT3 team in the championship. Jonny Edgar leads the championship; Nicky Catsburg is second as he was absent at Imola on other racing duties.
Ben Keating is third as he didn't race at Imola or Spa as a result of injury. But the Corvette customer squad have performed extremely well this year, with two wins, one apiece from each car.
The #33 of Keating, Edgar and Catsburg took victory at Le Mans, while the sister #34 Racing Team Turkey entry claimed honours at Interlagos. They also took ninth and sixth at Spa and Le Mans.
Pair this with a second at Imola for Edgar, Catsburg, and Blake McDonald, sitting in for Keating, and eighth at Interlagos for Edgar, Keating and one-off teammate Nico Varrone, and it's easy to see why TF Sport are the leading LMGT3 team right now.
