The Italian driver will be looking to bounce back after last weekend’s European Le Mans Series round at Spa-Francorchamps, which ended in a bitter retirement. The outcome came as a major disappointment to the entire team, especially as the Belgian weekend had begun with the highest expectations.

Agostini’s teammate Custodio Toledo, one of the fastest Bronze drivers in the field, immediately secured fourth place in qualifying and showed excellent confidence behind the wheel of the Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari 296 LMGT3 Evo, which he shared with Agostini and French driver Lilou Wadoux. The Brazilian then delivered a strong opening stint. After making a pit stop, he extended his time behind the wheel to more than two hours, as the various neutralisations repeatedly interrupted the rhythm of the race. With just a couple of laps remaining before the driver change – and after completing 38 laps – Toledo went violently off the track at Pouhon, also as a result of a difficult overtaking situation involving CLX Motorsport’s No. 47 Oreca LMP2. The accident forced the car to retire before Agostini even had the opportunity to take the wheel.

Attention now turns to the forthcoming US round, as part of a season in which the Italian driver is competing on several fronts, including the IMSA championship in North America. The action gets underway on Friday with testing and the opening free-practice session, followed by two further sessions on Saturday. The two qualifying sessions are scheduled to begin at 9:10 a.m. local time on Sunday- 4:10 p.m. CEST. The race will then get underway at 9:00 p.m. CEST time and will be streamed live at www.gt-world-challenge-america.com/watch-live.

This weekend (August 21–23), the Italian driver returns to action for the fourth round of the six-event European Le Mans Series campaign, sharing the Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari 296 LMGT3 Evo with Brazilian Custodio Toledo and Frenchwoman Lilou Wadoux.

In the most recent round at Imola in early July, a virtually certain podium slipped away in the closing stages, as a final pit stop disrupted the team’s strategy and cost them third place in the LMGT3 class, dropping them to eighth at the finish.

Earlier in the season at Paul Ricard, Toledo’s accident forced the trio into retirement, while in the opening round at Barcelona – where Francesco Castellacci replaced the absent Wadoux – they secured a fifth-place finish.

On the 7.004-kilometre Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, it will therefore be crucial to secure a strong result capable of reviving a 2026 campaign that has so far yielded fewer rewards than expected. Agostini, for his part, will undoubtedly give it everything.

The weekend gets underway on Friday with the first of two free practice sessions, while the second and final session is scheduled for Saturday morning. Qualifying will begin on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. local time. The traditional four-hour race will start on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. and will be streamed live on the championship’s official YouTube channel, @EuropeanLeMansSeriesOfficial.

The Italian driver will take the wheel of the Triarsi Competizione Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo at Road America, Wisconsin, sharing the car with Britain’s James Calado as they form an all-Pro lineup.

Fresh from a sixth-place finish in the GTD Pro class at the prestigious Six Hours of Watkins Glen at the end of June, following eighth and seventh-place finishes respectively at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the Twelve Hours of Sebring, Agostini continues to share his commitment in the American endurance series with his European Le Mans Series campaign, which will resume at Spa-Francorchamps on August 22–23.

At Road America, the Italian driver will once again be aiming for a breakthrough result, with a podium finish – or even a victory – that has so far slipped away due to a series of unfortunate circumstances, despite the strong combination of car, team, and drivers.

The weekend schedule gets underway on Friday with the opening free practice session starting at 7:25 p.m. CEST. Free Practice 2 will take place on Saturday at 5:50 p.m. CEST, followed by qualifying at 11:25 p.m. CEST. The six-hour race will start on Sunday at 6:40 p.m. CEST. The race will be streamed live at https://www.imsa.com/tv/.

Above all because, together with his teammates Lilou Wadoux and Brazilian driver Custodio Toledo, with whom he once again shared driving duties aboard the Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari 296 LMGT3 Evo, a podium finish was genuinely within reach.

Running in third place with around five minutes remaining but forced to make one final and decisive pit stop, the crew led by the Italian driver ultimately paid the price for the pit-stop strategy, slipping back through the order at the most crucial moment of the race.

After retiring in the previous round at Paul Ricard due to an incident in which Toledo was unfortunately involved, and following the fifth-place finish achieved in the season opener at Barcelona last April, the objective at Imola was to climb back up the championship standings. Unfortunately, that did not happen.

As a result, delivering a strong performance at the next round in Spa on August 23 will be essential in order to begin the second half of the season in the best possible way.

In the meantime, Agostini will return to the track at the beginning of August at Road America, where he will once again be behind the wheel of a Ferrari, this time with Triarsi Competizione, for the next round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

Fresh from securing sixth place in the GTD Pro class in the United States, the Italian driver heads into his home round of the European Le Mans Series this weekend (4-5 July), which also marks the halfway point of the continental season.

On the familiar Imola circuit, Agostini arrives with the aim of bouncing back from the disappointment of Paul Ricard and climbing the LMGT3 standings, once again sharing driving duties in the Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari 296 LMGT3 Evo with French driver Lilou Wadoux and Brazilian Custodio Toledo.

The Imola event is one that the Italian driver approaches with confidence in his ability to deliver a strong result, also thanks to the encouraging progress shown by Bronze-rated driver Toledo, alongside whom he secured a positive fifth-place finish in the season opener at Barcelona, together with fellow Italian Francesco Castellacci.

Things unfolded differently in the second round held in France at the beginning of May, where the Italian driver was unable to complete even a single racing lap after Toledo was innocently caught up in a multi-car incident during the opening stages, forcing the crew into an immediate retirement.

Imola represents an opportunity to turn the page. As usual, the weekend will begin with Friday’s first free practice session, scheduled to start at 10:50 am. A second session will take place on Saturday, again starting at the same time, followed by qualifying at 2:55 pm. The four-hour race will finally get underway on Sunday at 1:00 pm, with live streaming available on the championship’s official YouTube channel, @EuropeanLeMansSeriesOfficial.

That was the case for Riccardo Agostini, who, together with French driver Lilou Wadoux and Brazilian Custodio Toledo, claimed eighth place in the LMGT3 class at the 94th edition of the legendary French endurance race aboard the Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari 296 LMGT3 Evo.

After completing 334 laps, the crew featuring the Italian driver and his teammates – who are also competing together in this year’s European Le Mans Series campaign, following their runner-up finish in the 2025 championship – finished as the second-best Ferrari entry in the LMGT3 field.

The eighth-place result came after a remarkable recovery drive. Having dropped to 20th position during the opening hour, the Agostini-Toledo-Wadoux trio climbed to 13th by the second hour before consistently running among the frontrunners. They eventually broke into the top ten, moving up to ninth with just a couple of hours remaining before gaining another position to secure eighth at the finish.

With two appearances in the world’s most famous endurance race, Agostini can now boast a 100% finishing record at Le Mans. In 2025, he completed his debut on the iconic 13.6-kilometre Circuit de la Sarthe, finishing 11th in class.

Agostini’s next challenge will be the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship round at Watkins Glen, the Six Hours of The Glen, scheduled for June 25-28. He will once again race a Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo, this time with Triarsi Competizione, sharing the car with Ferrari factory drivers James Calado and Miguel Molina in a Pro-class lineup.

Twelve months ago, during his baptism of fire on the 13.6-kilometre circuit, Agostini finished 11th in class, successfully reaching the chequered flag of the world’s most famous and demanding endurance race. A challenge he is now ready to embrace once again in a category that is also the most competitive on the grid, featuring 25 entries from nine different manufacturers: Aston Martin, BMW, Corvette, Ford, Lexus, McLaren, Mercedes, Porsche and, of course, Ferrari.

The 2026 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 94th running of the event and a round of the FIA World Endurance Championship, adds another major commitment to Agostini’s busy programme. Earlier this year he made his third appearance in the 24 Hours of Daytona, which preceded the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen. He will return to action in the American IMSA series during the weekend of June 27-28, exactly one week before the Imola round of the European Le Mans Series, a championship in which he also competes alongside Toledo and Wadoux and where he finished runner-up last season.

The on-track action begins tomorrow with Free Practice from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, followed by Qualifying at 6:45 pm and a further Free Practice session from 10:00 pm until midnight. On Thursday, teams will take part in Free Practice 3 from 2:45 pm to 5:45 pm, followed by the two Hyperpole sessions starting at 8:00 pm and Free Practice 4 from 11:00 pm. Friday will be dedicated to the traditional Drivers’ Parade through the streets of Le Mans city centre. Engines will roar back into life on Saturday for the Warm-Up session (12:00 pm–12:15 pm), before the start of the race at 4:00 pm.

The Italian driver, who once again shared the wheel of the Triarsi Competizione Ferrari 296 GT3 with American Sebastian Mascaro, just as he did in the previous round at COTA (Austin), was among the protagonists of the third round of the GT World Challenge America. It was undoubtedly a positive weekend, which began with the fifth-fastest overall time and the Pro-Am pole position secured at the end of Saturday’s qualifying sessions, thanks in part to the second-best overall lap set by Agostini during his qualifying stint.

Mascaro took the start of the race and managed to retain the Pro-Am lead until the first pit stop. However, due to the strategy adopted, the Triarsi Competizione crew later lost several positions. Added to that were a couple of minor mistakes from Mascaro himself, before Agostini recovered during the final stint to secure fifth place.

“It was a positive weekend, highlighted by the Pro-Am pole position,” commented Agostini. “Considering how we started, we could probably have aimed for a podium finish, but a series of unforeseen circumstances caused us to slip back.”

Agostini’s next overseas commitment will now be the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen on June 27-28, which counts as the third round of the Endurance Cup of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. He will once again race with a Ferrari entered by Triarsi Competizione, this time in the Pro class alongside James Calado and Miguel Molina.

A multi-car incident involving three cars in the opening stages of the race forced his teammate Custodio Toledo into retirement. Toledo and Agostini were sharing driving duties in the Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari 296 LMGT3 EVO alongside returning driver Lilou Wadoux.

As a result, the Italian racer completed zero race laps and scored no points. Agostini will now look to bounce back at the third round of the GT World Challenge America, scheduled for this weekend at Sebring, where he will once again share another Ferrari 296 GT3 entered by Triarsi Competizione with American driver Sebastian Mascaro.

The Florida event will mark the Italian driver’s second appearance of the season in the American-based series, following his outing at COTA (Austin) at the end of April, where he claimed sixth place in the Pro-Am class and ninth overall.

The Sebring weekend will get underway on Friday with the opening free practice session, followed by a second session on Saturday morning. Qualifying is scheduled for Saturday at 20:10 pm CEST, while the race will go green at 23:00 pm CEST. The race will be broadcast live on the @GTWorld YouTube channel.

The Italian driver heads to France for the second of six rounds of the European Le Mans Series, sharing driving duties in the Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari 296 LMGT3 Evo with Brazil’s Custodio Toledo and returning driver Lilou Wadoux, who missed the previous round in Barcelona due to a clashing commitment and was replaced on that occasion by Francesco Castellacci.

After finishing fifth in the season opener held in Spain in mid-April, Agostini is aiming for the best possible result, also with an eye on the standings, where he currently sits 15 points adrift of the championship lead.

For Agostini, this marks his second consecutive race weekend, following his participation in last week’s second round of the GT World Challenge America at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Texas.

Free practice sessions are scheduled for today and tomorrow, with qualifying taking place tomorrow and getting underway at 15:10. The four-hour race will start on Sunday at midday and will be streamed live on the official YouTube channel @EuropeanLeMansSeriesOfficial.
