British teams and drivers are prominent, highlighted by Aston Martin's Valkyrie returning to the top Hypercar class for the first time since 2011. The 2026 World Endurance Championship calendar was announced before the race, featuring eight rounds and a scheduling conflict with Formula 1's Barcelona Grand Prix.
