The 89th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans already has its first entry list. A total of 62 vehicles are called to compete in La Sarthe in August, participants who are divided into five hypercar prototypes, twenty-five LMP2 prototypes, eight GTEs within the LMGTE-Pro class, twenty-three GTEs in the LMGTE-Am class and one adapted LMP2 prototype within Garage 56. Unlike other years, the FIA and ACO have published a reduced reserve vehicle list, since with the postponement of Le Mans until the month of August it has drawn a new dynamic when it comes to defining the ‘bench’ of the queen of the event. WEC.
The hypercar category offers few surprises since in Le Mans the two Toyota LMHs, the two Glickenhaus prototypes and the Alpine LMP1 will meet. Much more interesting is the LMP2 category. To the eleven prototypes competing in the WEC, there are four prototypes by invitation and ten chosen by ACO and FIA according to their criteria. However, the category has great names among the pilots designated among these prototypes, perhaps highlighting the presence of pilots such as Jan Magnussen, Juan Pablo Montoya, Paul Di Resta, Piettro Fittipaldi, Stoffel Vandoorne, Renger Van der Zande, António Félix Da Costa, Loïc Duval or Robert Kubica.
In the LMGTE-Pro class there are a total of eight GTEs thanks to the two-car projects designed by AF Corse (Ferrari), Porsche and Corvette. The seventh GTE in question is the Ferrari from WeatherTech Racing and the eighth the Porsche from HubAuto. Leaving aside the LMP2 adapted from Association SRT41 as registered inside Garage 56, the list of participants is closed by the twenty-three GTE vehicles of the LMGTE-Am class. The thirteen GTEs who compete regularly in the WEC are joined by six GTEs that receive places by invitation -to add 11 of the 16 invitations used- and four GTEs designated by the FIA and ACO.
