The #9 Porsche completed 287 laps for a one-lap victory, while Theeba Motorsport by Quanloop EST1 Racing, MM Racing and LMR Motorsport secured the remaining class honours.

Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium | Sep 5, 2026

Red Camel-Jordans.nl turned two years of near misses into victory in the 2026 Michelin 992 Endurance Cup, controlling the second half of the 12-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps. Third at the inaugural event in 2024 and second in 2025, the Dutch squad reached the top step on its third attempt with the #9 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992 I), shared by Ivo, Luc and Rik Breukers and Fabian Danz.

The winner covered 287 laps of the 7.004-kilometre circuit in 12 hours, 16.138 seconds. The #22 Theeba Motorsport by Quanloop EST1 Racing Porsche finished one lap behind and won PRO/AM, while #17 AF Motorsport completed the overall podium on 284 laps. #23 MM Racing took fourth and the AM-S victory, and #911 LMR Motorsport secured AM-B in seventh overall. All nine starters were classified at the finish.

From fourth to first on the opening lap

The grid had already been reshaped by the stewards before the start. AF Motorsport initially topped the Top 5 Grid Shoot-Out, but Dylan Pereira’s lap was deleted. Red Camel’s shoot-out lap was also removed for a track-limits infringement, promoting the #21 Mühlner Motorsport Porsche to pole with Conrad Tox Leveau’s 2:21.627. The AM-B #911 LMR Porsche started alongside it, with #920 Chazel Technologie Course third, Red Camel fourth and AF fifth.

Tox Leveau led the field away at 09:45, but Rik Breukers needed less than a lap to erase Red Camel’s starting deficit. He attacked between the pole-sitter and LMR’s Leandro Martins and completed the move for the lead at the slightly damp Pouhon. That advantage was short-lived: both #9 and Jean-Mathieu Leandri in the #920 Chazel car received drive-through penalties for false starts.

The penalties returned Mühlner to the lead and opened the door for MM Racing. Tom Meurrens, starting from the back because the #23 had missed qualifying, climbed to second. Just after the first half-hour, however, Mühlner’s right-front wheel detached at Stavelot. Tox Leveau brought the car back to the pits safely, but a second inspection stop cost the pole-sitter three laps and removed it from the immediate victory fight.

Breukers cleared the traffic after serving his penalty and put #9 back at the front. At the one-hour mark, Red Camel led MM Racing by 15.920 seconds and Theeba by 22.357. The first mandatory-stop sequence, around 75 minutes into the race, kept the same car in control with Danz now at the wheel.

Theeba makes the middle phase a contest

The race was neutralised when the #78 Speed Lover Porsche became stranded in the gravel. The Full Course Yellow and subsequent Safety Car compressed the lead group, leaving Red Camel, MM Racing and Theeba on the lead lap. At the restart, Paul Meijer quickly moved the #22 past Mick Meurrens for second, while Pereira recovered a lap for AF against Ivo Breukers.

Meijer then passed #9 for the lead at Blanchimont early in hour five, but the move was completed via the run-off area. A drive-through dropped Theeba back to third. Meijer’s pace nevertheless kept the challenge alive: he repassed MM Racing, closed on Red Camel and returned #22 to the lead as the pit cycles developed.

At six hours, Ali Juffali headed the overall order for Theeba, 21.291 seconds ahead of Rik Breukers, with MM Racing one lap down in third. The official leader history credits #22 with 37 laps at the front. Red Camel, however, led 241 of the 287 laps, and lap 146 was decisive: once #9 returned to first place, it remained there to the chequered flag.

As the light faded, Red Camel extended its cushion to two laps. Meijer reduced it to one during the final hour and underlined Theeba’s pace with the race’s fastest lap, a 2:21.099 on lap 235. Rik Breukers answered with #9’s best, a 2:21.292 on lap 259, and the leader retained the full-lap margin.

A late fuel stop decides the final podium place

The battle for third remained open deep into the final hour. At the 11-hour checkpoint, MM Racing and AF Motorsport were both on 259 laps, with the #23 holding an advantage of 1:19.756. MM Racing appeared set to add an overall podium to its AM-S lead until a fuel stop inside the final eight minutes promoted AF’s #17.

Pereira still had to save fuel aggressively to reach the chequered flag, but AF completed the job and secured third overall and second in PRO/AM. MM Racing finished fourth and retained the AM-S win. A post-race 60-second penalty for a technical non-compliance on #23 did not change either position.

Four class races across the nine-car field

PRO

Red Camel’s overall success was also the PRO victory. The #21 Mühlner Motorsport Porsche, shared by Joshua Bednarski, Conrad Tox Leveau and Rolando Saca, recovered to sixth overall and second in class with 282 laps. Five laps separated the two PRO entries at the finish, but sixth place represented a substantial recovery after the early wheel loss.

PRO/AM

Ali Juffali, Reema Juffali and Paul Meijer brought #22 Theeba Motorsport by Quanloop EST1 Racing home second overall and two laps clear of its class rival. The result came despite recurring electrical issues and Meijer’s drive-through. #17 AF Motorsport, driven by Andre Fernandes, Angelo Fontana, Dylan Pereira and Christian Potolicchio, took second in class and third overall.

AM-S

MM Racing produced the weekend’s sharpest recovery. The team completed the #23 Porsche only one day before the race, missing testing and qualifying, yet Mick, Tom and Steve Meurrens led AM-S at the one-, six-, nine- and 11-hour checkpoints before taking the class win in fourth overall. #920 Chazel Technologie Course finished one lap behind in fifth overall and second in class after its false-start penalty. Marc Guillot set the fastest AM-S lap for Chazel at 2:23.129.

AM-B

AM-B changed hands during the race. The front-row-starting #911 LMR Motorsport Porsche led after one hour by 23.008 seconds, but #992 HRT Performance held a 39.853-second advantage at half-distance. By the nine-hour mark, LMR had retaken first and led by 1:01.266. Leandro Martins, Dieter Svepes and André Marques completed 281 laps to win the class, one lap ahead of HRT’s Seth Gilmore, Steven Gambrell, Massimo Vignali and Tadao Uematsu. Dieter Svepes recorded the class’s fastest lap at 2:22.589. #78 Speed Lover recovered from the gravel incident to finish third in AM-B and ninth overall on 275 laps.

Red Camel-Jordans.nl’s victory was built on recovery and execution across the full 12 hours. The false-start penalty forced the #9 to retake the race, Theeba repeatedly applied pressure through Paul Meijer’s pace and the changing pit cycles, and the final hour still required the leaders to protect a one-lap margin. Yet after moving ahead on lap 146, Ivo, Luc and Rik Breukers and Fabian Danz controlled the remaining 142 laps. With 241 of the race’s 287 laps led, the result was a convincing answer to the near misses of the previous two editions.

Behind them, the nine-car field continued to produce movement until the closing minutes. Theeba combined the overall fastest lap with the PRO/AM victory, AF Motorsport converted MM Racing’s late fuel stop into the final podium place, MM turned a Porsche completed only one day earlier into an AM-S win, and LMR Motorsport reclaimed AM-B from HRT Performance after losing the class lead at half-distance. Every starter reached the finish. For Red Camel-Jordans.nl, third in 2024 and second in 2025, Spa completed a clear three-year progression from contender to winner.
