Entry Lists: IMSA at Watkins Glen

This weekend, the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship has the third round of the Michelin Endurance Cup, the Sahlen’s Six Hours at the Glen. This will be the final time that Pro teams can use two-driver lineups in six-hour races at Watkins Glen as a three-driver lineup for six hour races will be mandated starting in 2025.

IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Sahlen’s Six Hours at the Glen

Sunday’s six-hour endurance race has 56 teams entered in four classes. That is actually down one entry from last year’s 57-car field. It is mainly due to the fact that Anthony Mantella decided to drop out of the series and put his Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R up for sale earlier this year.

The GTP class has 11 entries, up from 10 at Detroit. The extra entry is the part-time Lamborghini SC63 from Lamborghini Iron Lynx that will be shared by Matteo Cairoli and Andrea Caldarelli, fresh from Le Mans.

Only two of the 11 teams have three-driver lineups. Those teams are Action Express Racing and JDC-Miller MotorSports.

In the case of Proton Competition, they are listed as having two TBD drivers in addition to Gianmaria Bruni, but that does not appear to be the case. The team has put out a release that indicates that Bent Viscaal will be Bruni’s only teammate in Watkins Glen.

LMP2 has 13 entries. It’s been over three months since the class competed at Sebring, but there are only a couple of driver changes.

At High Class Racing, Scott Huffaker has been drafted into the team, replacing Laurents Hoerr. Nico Varrone will replace Henrik Hedman at DragonSpeed.

Varrone finished fourth in LMP2 at Le Mans last weekend and won the LMP2 Pro-Am subclass with AF Corse. Huffaker was ninth in LMP2 with Panis Racing.

The GTD Pro class has 11 entries, the same as Detroit. Two teams that are not entered are Vasser Sullivan’s No. 15 Lexus and Conquest Racing’s No. 35 Ferrari. These are normally GTD teams and are entered as such.

To replace them on the grid are Iron Lynx’s Lamborghini for Franck Perera and Jordan Pepper, and the Risi Competizione Ferrari that won at Daytona earlier this year.

The GTD class has 21 teams entered, an increase of six from the last GTD race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in May. All 15 teams that were at Laguna Seca have been joined by part-time efforts from AF Corse, Triarsi Competizione, Magnus Racing, Cetilar Racing, Lone Star Racing and the Iron Dames.
