Notes

  1. ^ As reigning IMSA GTP champion, Porsche Penske Motorsport had right of first refusal for the invitation. However, Porsche's withdrawal from WEC's Hypercar class meant no Porsche 963 could be present at Le Mans.[3] IMSA subsequently granted the entry to Wayne Taylor Racing.[4]
  2. ^ a b Boguslavskiy is Russian, but he competes as a neutral competitor as Russian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Lomko, also Russian, competes under a Grenadian licence for the same reason.
