Akkodis ASP Team Announces Driver Line-Up for 2026 FIA WEC Season
Overview: Ahead of the FIA WEC full-season entry list reveal, Akkodis ASP Team has confirmed its first two drivers for the 2026 season, set to return to the LMGT3 category with Lexus RC F LMGT3s.
Driver Line-Up:
- José María López will pilot the #87 Lexus for a third consecutive season. López, a two-time FIA WEC overall drivers’ champion, aims to build on his previous successes.
- Esteban Masson returns to the full-time roster in the #78 Lexus after a season away, having previously co-driven with López in 2024. Masson claimed the European Le Mans Series LMP2 title in 2025 and briefly participated in Super Formula Lights.
Performance Insights: In 2025, the Akkodis ASP Team made considerable progress following a challenging debut season. They secured their first FIA WEC podium at Imola and achieved victories in São Paulo and Bahrain. This performance placed López, Clemens Schmid, and Petru Umbrarescu third in the drivers’ championship standings. Masson, having made an impactful substitute appearance at Imola, showcased his potential by finishing on the podium alongside fellow drivers.
Future Developments: The 2026 season is projected to be the team’s final campaign with the RC F LMGT3, coinciding with the recent official launch of Toyota’s GR GT3.
Outlook: The remainder of the Akkodis ASP Team’s driver line-up is yet to be announced, as the team looks to build on its recent momentum and strategic improvements.
