The Austrian team is testing at the beginning of August the Frenchman Enzo Guibbert in Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium).

Matevos Isaakyan leaves SMP Racing after two spectacular accidents in as many races this season. The BR Engineering BR1 n°17 ​​only has two drivers left (Stephane Sarrazin and Egor Orudzhev).

In LM P2, the Japanese Yoshiharu Mori, a regular at the Asian Le Mans Series and Blancpain GT Asia, takes the seat previously assigned to Julien Canal at Larbre Compétition.
