The final round of theEndurance Cup of the 2023 GT World Challenge Europe season will take place from September 29 to October 1 in Barcelona. 54 cars are expected for this last meeting of the season while all the titles (or almost) remain to be awarded. This is a record number of entrants for this round.

The title will be played between Mercedes-AMG n°88 of Akkodis ASP of the trio Raffaele Marciello, Jules Gounon and Timur Boguslavskiy and the BMW n°98 of ROWE Racing driven by Phillip Eng, Marco Wittmann and Nick Yelloly. 18 points separate the two teams in the drivers' classification with the advantage of the crew of the star brand and 15 points in the team classification.

In the Gold Cup, the No. 21 Audi of Nicolas Baert and Maxime Soulet, joined for the occasion by Max Hofer, will only have to finish the event to win the drivers' title. On the team side, the outcome is much more uncertain since seven cars will compete for category honors.

In the Silver Cup, it is the crew of the #85 Lamborghini from Grasser Racing which is at the top of the drivers' standings with Clemens Schmid, Glenn van Berlo and Benjamin Hites, five points ahead of the #12 Audi from Comtoyou Racing led by by Sem Dejonghe, Loris Hezemans and Finlay Hutchison. Grasser Racing enjoys an 18-point advantage.

It is in this category that we will find Lilou Wadoux. The Frenchwoman will be lined up in a Ferrari 296 GT3 from AF Corse flocked with n°53. She will be associated with Manuel Franco and Cedric Sbirrazzuoli.

As for the Bronze Cup, this will be the last meeting of the season since the Sprint campaign ended at the Valencia event. Sky Tempesta Racing leads the way with the McLaren #93 by Jonathan Hui, Chris Froggatt and Eddie Cheever. 

The Pro-Am drivers' title will go to Alex Fontana, Ivan Jacoma and Niki Leutwiler on the Porsche n°24 of Car Collection Motorsport and they will win the team classification if they complete the three-hour event which will start at 15:00 p.m. on Sunday.
