6 Hours of Spa coming up this weekend as well, hosting Round 2 of the World Endurance Championship.

While there’s no F1 this weekend, there’s still plenty of racing in store at some truly iconic race tracks. MotoGP heads to Le Mans for Round 5, with teams expected to bring in updates following the Jerez test. Over in Belgium, Spa-Francorchamps will host Round 2 of the World Endurance Championship (WEC).

Here is your complete guide on when and where to tune in from India:

MotoGP French GP schedule

Alex Marquez ended Marco Bezzecchi and Aprilia’s victory streak last time out at Jerez. But P2 in the race helped Bezzecchi further extend his lead in the drivers’ championship to 11 points from his Aprilia teammate Jorge Martin. As we saw last year, though, unpredictable weather at Le Mans could open up the opportunity for a surprise winner.

Ducati will be looking to claw back lost ground at Le Mans. Jerez ended up being a weekend of highs and lows for the reigning champions. The team scored a strong 1-2 finish in the Sprint Race but suffered a double DNF (Did Not Finish) in Sunday’s main race following Marc Marquez’s Lap 2 crash and Francesco Bagnaia’s mechanical issue. As a result, Marc Marquez is currently P5 in the standings, 44 points behind Bezzecchi, while Bagnaia is even further adrift in P9, 67 points off the leader.

WEC 6 Hours of Spa schedule

Toyota kicked off the 2026 WEC on a strong note, defeating Ferrari on home soil at Imola. But Spa presents a very different challenge with its mix of long straights, challenging fast corners and notoriously unpredictable weather serving up plenty of overtaking opportunities.

Along with Toyota and Ferrari, another team to watch out for is Alpine. They finished a strong P4 at Imola, and Spa has traditionally been a strong track for the French manufacturer.
