6 Hours of Interlagos — the race team's race report
July 18, 2026 · Race report · Le Mans Ultimate
On Saturday 18 July 2026, JOBARD Racing took the start of the 6 Hours of Interlagos, at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo, driving the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R in Le Mans Ultimate. The car was shared between Guillaume Jobard and Jonathan Ribeiro. Six hours of endurance concluded at P16 in the GT3 class (P26 overall), at the end of a strategic gamble that went unrewarded.
A wet-weather bet that did not pay off
The decision was made before the lights went out: run a wet-weather setup, anticipating the clouds threatening São Paulo. Endurance racing sometimes rewards those who read the weather before everyone else — provided the weather obliges. This evening, it did not. Rain only arrived with an hour to go, and too lightly to reshuffle the pack. Both drivers spent six hours managing a compromise built for conditions that never truly materialised.
At JOBARD Racing, we do not oversell our results, and we name our choices plainly. The wet-weather gamble was deliberate — it did not pay off. We note it, without equivocation.
