Entry list

A provisional entry list was announced on 18 July, featuring 30 entries. Eight manufacturers were represented: 11 Porsche cars (10 Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) and 1 Porsche 911 GT3 R (991.2)), 7 Mercedes cars, 4 Ferrari cars, 3 Corvette cars (2 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R and 1 Callaway Corvette C7 GT3-R), 2 Nissan cars, and 1 car each from Audi, BMW, and Lamborghini. [1]

An updated list was revealed on 18 August, with the grid expanded to 33 entries. Team WRT entered with two BMW M4 GT3 Evos, plus K-tunes Racing with their Ferrari, and RunUp Sports' Nissan. The only Lamborghini dropped off the grid after Absolute Racing switched its Huracán GT3 EVO2 to a Porsche 911 GT3 R, while Herberth Motorsports' second Porsche withdrew. [2]

GT300 teams were allowed to enter GTA-GT300 regulation vehicles after an agreement between SRO and the GT Association (GTA) was reached in late 2024. [3] However, no GTA-GT300 cars entered the race. [1]
