Victory in Japan and first place in all the classifications. AF Corse Ferrari 488 #51, driven by Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado, was the fastest GT car in the 6 Hours of Fuji, third to last race of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Thanks to the victory, the two drivers take the lead in the GT Drivers standing and AF Corse has the first position among the LMGTE Pro Team. Ferrari strengthens its leadership in the GT Manufactures championship.

The race was complicated due to the weather conditions: heavy rain and fog. The two drivers of car #51 were always on the attack and were backed by a perfect strategy from the AF Corse pit wall. 

Fifth place went to Sam Bird and Davide Rigon in AF Corse Ferrari #71.
