Overview

• The Pro class is set at 11 entries under a unified rule requiring at least one Silver-rated driver, with 75 Express and Earl Bamber Motorsport confirmed in the top category.
• Two provisional entries withdrew from the GT3 enduro — CRP Racing’s No. 27 Mercedes-AMG and Racers Edge’s No. 2 Aston Martin — with Racers Edge shifting its focus to GT America support races.
• BMW fields four M4 GT3 EVOs led by Team WRT’s lineup featuring Valentino Rossi with IGTC points leader Kelvin van der Linde, as Raffaele Marciello remains the only other driver still in the drivers’ title hunt.
• GT World Challenge America Pro leader Random Vandals Racing reinforces its pair of BMWs with Conor Daly and Philipp Eng as the No. 99 crew carries a 15-point advantage over JMF Motorsports for the double-points round.
• Pro-Am counts 12 cars with added IGTC entries, including two Herberth Motorsport Porsches led by Independent Cup co-leader Ralf Bohn and a Wright Motorsports Porsche for Antares Au alongside Loek Hartog and Patric Niederhauser, with on-track running opening Wednesday in a 90-minute test.
