Entry list
[edit]Notes:
- Dinamic GT was scheduled to run a pair of Ford Mustangs, but parted ways with the American brand prior to the start of the season.[81] Christopher Mies, Dennis Olsen and Frédéric Vervisch were set to share a Pro-class entry, with Ben Barker, Philipp Sager and Christopher Zöchling in a Bronze Cup car.[82][83] Proton Competition later set up a one-car programme to accommodate Mies, Olsen and Vervisch.[57]
- GMB Motorsport was scheduled to enter an Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 Evo in Silver Cup for Gustav Birch, Simon Birch and Kasper H. Jensen,[84] but the team folded prior to the start of the season.[85]
- Alexander Schwarzer was scheduled to compete for Herberth Motorsport, but was forced to withdraw as the Pro-Am Cup was discontinued and the No. 91 car moved to Bronze Cup.[27][28]
- Century Motorsport originally planned to field a second Bronze Cup BMW for the blue-riband 24 Hours of Spa.[86] It was later withdrawn and replaced by the #5 Optimum Motorsport McLaren.[5]
- Iron Dames had entered a Bronze Cup Lamborghini for Sarah Bovy, Rahel Frey and Michelle Gatting at the 24 Hours of Spa. However, after an accident for Bovy at the preceding Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen, the team elected to withdraw to allow the Belgian time to recover.[87]
