The 2026 24H Series Esports season concluded with a demanding 12 Hours of Silverstone, as sustained rain, a drying circuit and the transition into darkness shaped the sixth and final round of the iRacing championship run by World Sim Racing with VCO.

Maniti Racing Green won the GT3 race with its #78 Ferrari 296 GT3, driven by Ryan van de Grijp and Tim Matzke. The pair completed 341 laps and finished 49.810 seconds ahead of the #44 Falken Simracing Team BMW shared by James F Beumee, Nicolai Pedersen and Daniel Sommer.

Third place was enough for Dino Lombardi and Jarno Koch to secure the GT3 championship for Grid-and-Go.com eSports. Their #1 BMW M4 GT3 EVO finished 1 minute 32.904 seconds behind the winner, giving the team the title by six points over Maniti Racing Green, 92 to 86.

Maniti wins as Grid-and-Go recovers

Grid-and-Go began the race from GT3 pole and led the early stages, but its path to the championship became more complicated as the weather deteriorated. The #1 BMW initially benefited from an early switch to wet tyres before suffering several spins and damage during the changing conditions.

The most costly moment came during the transition back to slicks, when the BMW spun on pit exit and struck the barriers, leaving it with compromised rear bodywork and rear-wing performance. Maniti Racing Green subsequently took the lead and controlled the remainder of the race.

Grid-and-Go nevertheless recovered to third during the closing stages, moving ahead of the #77 Zero7 Racing x GNG Liveries BMW after the penultimate pit sequence. That result preserved the advantage established through earlier victories at Motegi and Portimão and second places at Aragón and COTA.

Cup victory completes Grid-and-Go double

The #901 Grid-and-Go.com eSports Porsche 911 Cup (992.2) converted a three-way title contest into a commanding class victory. Gunonso Tasdelen, Hady-Noah Mimassi and Adrian Gericke completed 336 laps to finish two laps ahead of the #912 Fiercely Forward entry, with the #935 XBD Racing Sim-Lab Porsche third.

Grid-and-Go and Bleu Mercure Esport had arrived at Silverstone tied on effective points, with Impulse Racing two points behind. Bleu Mercure finished seventh in class, while a heavy crash during the wet phase contributed to Impulse Racing finishing ninth.

The victory gave the #901 its third win of the season and the championship with 92 points, 11 clear of Bleu Mercure. Its 336 laps also placed it 11th overall in the 48-car field.

Team75 survives collision to clinch GT4 crown

Team75 Bernhard by SimRC’s route to the GT4 title was less straightforward. The pole-starting #475 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR led early before becoming involved in a secondary collision after the #89 BS+COMPETITION BMW spun into the wet gravel. The resulting tow and repairs cost the team approximately three laps.

Adam J Isaksson, Jürgen Frank and Philip Ansell returned to the circuit and reached the finish eighth in class and 30th overall. That was sufficient to clinch the championship with 88 points, six ahead of Team Checkmate Wolak Group.

Team Checkmate took the Silverstone GT4 victory with Marcin Rybaczuk and Konrad Zerebiec in the #488 Porsche. They completed 311 laps, with the #468 TeamFloral by Impulse Ford Mustang GT4 second on the same lap and the #412 Fiercely Forward Porsche third, one lap behind.

The victory moved Team Checkmate into second in the final GT4 standings, ahead of Byte.Collino Max.
