Brutal Fish by Campos aiming to extend podium streak at Silverstone

The Michelin Le Mans Cup season is now entering its decisive phase, with the European endurance series heading to Silverstone for the fifth round of the 2026 calendar. Brutal Fish by Campos will be aiming to extend an outstanding debut campaign in endurance racing, with its two Ligier JS P325 – Toyotas entrusted to the pairings of August Raber – Arthur Rogeon and Lucas Fluxá – Matúš Ryba. So far, the Alzira-based squad has claimed one victory and four podium finishes across the four rounds contested.

Raber and Rogeon will arrive in the United Kingdom on a high after their recent results. The French-Swedish pairing, who suffered two retirements in Barcelona and Le Castellet due to technical issues, opened their account in emphatic fashion with victory in the Road to Le Mans, held at the Circuit de La Sarthe during the same week as the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. The special points allocation awarded for that three-hour race, combined with their second place at Spa-Francorchamps after the summer break, has moved Raber and Rogeon into second place in the overall standings with 57 points.

Fluxá and Ryba began their partnership with a fourth-place finish at the team’s home event at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. The drivers of the #19 Ligier, who narrowly missed out on the podium on that occasion, subsequently secured back-to-back podium finishes at the two French rounds, taking third place at both the Circuit Paul Ricard and La Sarthe. Despite retiring in Belgium before the chequered flag, the Spaniard and Slovenian remain an excellent third in the overall standings, with 50 points to their name.

Silverstone joined the Michelin Le Mans Cup calendar in 2025, marking the championship’s first visit to the British Isles. Unlike last year, when the race was run over an exceptional 110-minute format, the standard two-hour race distance returns for 2026. Silverstone, the home of British motorsport, retains much of the character of the former World War II airfield that opened its doors as a racing circuit in 1948. The venue hosted the British Formula 1 Grand Prix for much of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s and has staged the event continuously since 1987. In its current configuration, the circuit is 5.891 kilometres long and features a combination of fast and demanding corners such as Copse and Stowe, together with the famous Maggotts, Becketts and Chapel sequence.

The British event could bring typically changeable conditions for this time of year, although current forecasts are pointing towards two sunny days with mild temperatures.

Following the two free practice sessions scheduled for Friday, qualifying will take place on Saturday from 14:10. The two-hour race will get underway at 18:10, meaning that its closing stages will be run as darkness falls over the British circuit. All times are CET. The race can be followed live via streaming on the official Michelin Le Mans Cup YouTube channel.

Adrián Campos (Team Principal of Campos Racing): “We are arriving at Silverstone very satisfied with what we have achieved so far in our first season in the Michelin Le Mans Cup. We have shown that we can fight at the front and having both of our cars second and third in the overall standings is a reward for the hard work of the entire team. We are now entering the decisive part of the season and we know that every point will be extremely important. Silverstone is a very special circuit, fast and demanding, and we will also have to adapt to conditions that can change considerably throughout the weekend. Our objective will be to fight for another podium with both cars and, above all, to take every opportunity to close the gap in the standings. We have a great opportunity ahead of us and the whole team is ready to take it on.”
