6 Hours of São Paulo 2027: the WEC returns to Interlagos in July

The 6 Hours of São Paulo 2027 is round 6 of the WEC season, held on 9-11 July at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, better known as Interlagos. Here is what to know about the date, the circuit, the trip and how to hear first about tickets.

6 Hours of São Paulo 2027: date and place on the calendar

The race weekend is 9-11 July 2027, with the race on Sunday 11 July. It is round 6 of the WEC 2027 calendar, coming about a month after the 24 Hours of Le Mans and marking the championship's move to the Americas. In 2026 the round was held on 12 July, so the date is very similar. It is confirmed, though the timetable has not been released.

The venue is the Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo, Brazil, known by the nickname Interlagos.

Because the race is a six-hour event, you can follow the whole thing in a single day. That makes it easy to combine with sightseeing in a huge city, as long as you leave generous time for getting around and for the race-day crowds.

Interlagos and the 6 Hours of São Paulo

Interlagos is a short, undulating track that runs anticlockwise and sits inside the city. Because the lap is short, a six-hour race produces a lot of laps and plenty of traffic, which creates overtaking and strategic gambles. The slopes and changing camber mean that it suits drivers who are confident under braking and over crests.

What to expect at the 6 Hours of São Paulo

Brazilian crowds are known for their passion for motorsport, and the atmosphere around a major race is lively. We have not confirmed grandstands, access or camping information for 2027, so we do not name any. Look for the official map once published, and plan to walk between viewing points because the circuit is hilly.

It is worth watching the early laps from a high point, then moving to a braking zone during the pit-stop phases, when positions change fast.

July weather for the 6 Hours of São Paulo

July is winter in the southern hemisphere. Days are often mild, but mornings and evenings can be cool, and showers are possible. Bring layers and a light waterproof.
