Brutal Fish by Campos Racing heads to Road to Le Mans

The second week of June traditionally marks the epicentre of endurance racing, as it is highlighted on every motorsport fan’s calendar by the running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. As part of the extensive on-track programme, the Michelin Le Mans Cup will also stage its third event of the 2026 season at the Circuit de la Sarthe. It will be Brutal Fish by Campos Racing’s first appearance at this iconic venue, where the team will field two Ligier JS P325 LMP3-Toyota entries for the pairings of Matúš Ryba–Lucas Fluxá and August Raber–Arthur Rogeon. Demonstrating the prestige of the event, a record-breaking entry list of fifty-eight cars has been assembled for the eleventh edition of Road to Le Mans.

At present, Fluxá and Ryba sit third in the championship standings with 27 points. The Spanish-Slovak pairing has established itself as a genuine title contender thanks to a combination of pace and consistency in the opening races at Barcelona and Paul Ricard. The drivers of the #19 Ligier began their campaign with a fourth-place finish at Montmeló before securing their first podium of the season with third place at Circuit Paul Ricard. Most notably, they remained in contention for victory until the closing stages of the race.

Raber and Rogeon, the latter competing in front of thousands of home fans, have also shown the pace required to challenge at the front. They have consistently demonstrated they can match the strongest competitors in the field, with misfortune being the only factor preventing the #12 Ligier crew from achieving the results they deserve. Could there be a better place than La Sarthe for the Swedish-French duo to finally enjoy a change in fortune?

The Circuit de la Sarthe is one of endurance racing’s most iconic venues, having hosted the 24 Hours of Le Mans since 1923. In its current configuration, the circuit measures 13.626 kilometres and follows a triangular route linking the towns of Le Mans, Arnage and Mulsanne, with the latter two lending their names to some of the track’s most famous corners. From the Dunlop Chicane, drivers head onto the Hunaudières Straight, where speeds approaching 400 km/h were achieved in the late 1980s before the introduction of the Daytona and Michelin chicanes divided the straight into three sections. Corners such as Porsche Curves and Maison Blanche remain deeply intertwined with the circuit’s rich history and legendary status.

Track action for the Michelin Le Mans Cup competitors begins on Wednesday with two practice sessions scheduled for 11:15 and 20:30, the latter taking place as dusk falls over the circuit. Qualifying will follow on Thursday at 10:15, while Friday is reserved for the race itself, which this year will run over a duration of three hours and start at 10:00. Fans can watch the event live via streaming on the Michelin Le Mans Cup YouTube channel.

Adrián Campos (Team Principal of Campos Racing): “Road to Le Mans is one of the most special events of the entire season. Racing at such a legendary venue as La Sarthe is always a privilege and an extra source of motivation for everyone in the team. We arrive in a positive momentum, particularly with Lucas Fluxá and Matúš Ryba, who have proven themselves to be contenders from the very start of the championship, but also with August Raber and Arthur Rogeon, whose potential deserves to be rewarded with a strong result. On a personal level, this race also carries a special meaning for me, as Le Mans was the last circuit where my father competed. Returning here always brings back very special memories and gives us an additional reason to approach this weekend with maximum enthusiasm and ambition.”
