35 cars at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps

Alongside its commitment to ELMS, G-Drive Racing will participate in the Belgian round of WEC (May 4), with the aim of preparing the 24 Hours of Le Mans (June 15-16). An event in which the Russian team is the title holder. The No. 07 Oreca 26-Gibson – which swells the contingent of entries in LM P2 to eight – will be entrusted, as on the European scene, to Roman Rusinov, Jean-Eric Vergne and Job van Uitert.

Still in LM P2, a change should be noted on the No. 07 Oreca 28 of TDS Racing. Loïc duval retained by its commitments in DTM with Audi, François Perrodo and Matthieu Vaxiviere will be supported by Norman Nato, who made a very good debut in the discipline last year with Racing Engineering.

In the premier category, the Enso CLM P1/01 from ByKolles Racing is announced, now equipped with a Gibson engine. Only Tom Dillmann is currently official at the wheel. André Lotterer returns to the #13 Rebellion R1 alongside Neel Jani and Bruno Senna. Finally, on the BR1-Gibson n°10, Renger van der Zande, in IMSA at Wayne Taylor Racing, is replaced by James Allen.

No changes to note in GTE, although it would not be surprising to see some freelancers from Le Mans show up, such as Billy Johnson in the No. 66 Ford GT.
