Cadillac will for a second year in a row take in the double-points WEC round on 15/16 June with both of its V-Series.R LMDhs from the IMSA SportsCar Championship run respectively by the Action Express and Ganassi teams, while Porsche Penske Motorsport will again cross the Atlantic with one of its North American 963 LMDhs.
Lamborghini and its factory Iron Lynx squad have also been successful in their application for the SC63 LMDh racing in IMSA to join its regular WEC entry at the French enduro.
The extra LMDhs join the 19 full-season cars in Hypercar on the 62-strong entry for Le Mans published on Monday.
It is completed by 16 LMP2s, one more than the 15-car minimum that race organiser the Automobile Club de l’Ouest promised when it was confirmed that the class would disappear from WEC, and 23 cars in the new LMGT3 category.
A further Hypercar entry, the Porsche 963 that Proton Competition fields in IMSA, is top of the seven-strong reserve list.
Action Express Racing has had one of the automatic entries for Le Mans allocated by IMSA confirmed with the release of the full Le Mans grid.
Pipo Derani and Jack Aitken, the team’s regular drivers in IMSA’s GTP class, are the two drivers listed against the car so far.
Meyer Shank Racing IndyCar driver Tom Blomqvist is the team’s driver for the IMSA enduros and should be available after a shift in the day of test for the North American single-seater series at the beginning of Le Mans week.
