Philipp Eng, Colton Herta, Chaz Mostert, and Alessandro Zanardi will support the holders in the endurance rounds, the latter having to debut in competition with the M8 at the 24 Hours of Daytona at the end of January.

Krohn and Edwards will be supported by Chaz Mostert and Alex Zanardi at Daytona, with the duo of Phillippi – Blomqvist expected to receive support from Eng and Herta in Florida.
