For the 2026 edition, 25 LMGT3s were entered, including the 18 competing in the full WEC championship. This represents nine manufacturers involved: Aston Martin, BMW, Corvette, Ferrari, Ford, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche.

The Ups and Downs of the Sleeve Valve Engine

June 15, 2026 By pete

By Pete Vack
From the VeloceToday Archives, July, 2010

For the 1923 French GP, French car builder Gabriel Voisin and his ‘spiritual son’ André Lefebvre, entered four highly advanced race cars equipped with a 2 liter six cylinder Knight sleeve valve engine, which was a mainstay of his fabulous line of luxury cars.

There are rallies that test you, rallies that impress you, and rallies that charm you. Then there is Terre di Canossa—the one that keeps pulling me back. This May, 7-10, marked my fourth time running in the event, and somewhere between the Ligurian coastline and the Apennine passes, I realized it has quietly become my favorite Italian motoring experience.
