Updated Le Mans Entry Confirms Multiple Driver Changes Across Three Classes

The ACO published an updated provisional entry list for the 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans on Thursday, confirming driver changes across Hypercar, LMP2, and LMGT3. The most significant adjustment in the Hypercar class sees Louis Délétraz join Will Stevens and Norman Natô in the No. 12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R, replacing Alex Lynn, who continues recovery from a persistent neck injury that already forced him to miss Imola and Spa. In LMP2, Lorenzo Fluxà takes a seat in the No. 44 Proton Competition ORECA, while Kakunoshin Ohta joins the No. 9 Proton entry for his La Sarthe debut. The 25-car LMGT3 class remains unchanged.

IMSA Issues Corrected Detroit BoP; Both Porsche 963 Specs Handed Weight Penalties

IMSA issued a corrected Balance of Performance table for the Chevrolet Detroit Sports Car Classic one day after the original figures were released, with both variants of the Porsche 963 facing increased minimum weight. The factory Porsche Penske Motorsport entries return to 1,100 kg — the same level carried at Long Beach — while the Laguna Seca-winning JDC-Miller MotorSports car, running in 2025 specification, faces a substantial 30 kg penalty. Both versions also received minor corrected power adjustments. The changes reflect IMSA’s ongoing effort to balance the privateer-run 963, which claimed its first GTP victory at Laguna Seca earlier this month.
