As shown on the updated entry list, the 2026 CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa will bring together 69 GT3 cars from 10 manufacturers for one of the largest and most competitive endurance races of the season.
The original 70-car field was reduced following the withdrawal of the #81 Era Motorsport Porsche 911 GT3 R, which had been entered in the Bronze Cup. Even with that late change, the 78th edition of the Belgian endurance classic retains remarkable depth across its five categories.
The final grid consists of 18 Pro entries, eight Gold Cup cars, 17 Silver Cup contenders, 17 Bronze Cup crews and nine Pro-Am entries.
All 69 cars are scheduled to take the start at 16:30 CEST on Saturday, 27 June. After racing through the afternoon, night and following day, the field will reach the chequered flag at the same time on Sunday.
Late changes shape the final 2026 CrowdStrike 24H of Spa entry list
Era Motorsport’s withdrawal reduces Porsche’s representation from 16 to 15 cars. However, the German manufacturer still has the largest presence of any brand on the grid.
The #914 Razoon – more than racing Porsche has finalised its line-up with Edward McDermott, Kenzie Reiss Beecroft, Carl Bennett and Bryce Fullwood as it makes its CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa debut. Meanwhile, Mühlner Motorsport has also revised the line-up of its #123 Bronze Cup Porsche. Bayley Hall, Armand Fumal and Andres Latorre will join Tobias Müller, replacing Vanina Ickx and Paul Meijer.
Elsewhere, Lucas Légeret completes Saintéloc Racing’s Silver Cup crew alongside Ezequiel Pérez Companc, Etienne Cheli and Ivan Klymenko.
Together, these changes finalise a field containing a mixture of factory-supported teams, experienced endurance specialists, emerging talents and amateur competitors.
Porsche leads a 10-manufacturer field
Porsche heads the manufacturer representation with 15 cars spread across the five classes. Mercedes-AMG follows with 11, while BMW, Ferrari and McLaren each have eight entries. Aston Martin will be represented by seven cars and Audi by six. Corvette, Ford and Lamborghini complete the field with two entries apiece.
The manufacturer breakdown is:
- Porsche: 15
- Mercedes-AMG: 11
- BMW: 8
- Ferrari: 8
- McLaren: 8
- Aston Martin: 7
- Audi: 6
- Corvette: 2
- Ford: 2
- Lamborghini: 2
Lamborghini may have one of the smallest contingents, but both of its cars will compete in the Pro category. The manufacturer returns as the defending winner after Grasser Racing Team secured its first overall Spa victory in 2025.
The 2026 race will also mark the first 24-hour appearance for the Lamborghini Temerario GT3, adding another layer of interest to an already unpredictable overall contest.
2026 CrowdStrike 24H of Spa: Pro: 18 cars fight for overall victory
The 18-car Pro category will lead the battle for outright honours. Its entry list features factory-supported teams, former Spa winners and leading drivers from GT racing, the DTM, Formula E and international endurance competition. Almost every manufacturer in the class has at least one line-up capable of challenging at the front.
Lamborghini’s victorious 2025 crew has separated ahead of this year’s race. Mirko Bortolotti remains with Grasser Racing Team in the #63 Lamborghini, while Luca Engstler has moved to the #96 Rutronik Racing entry. Jordan Pepper, meanwhile, will drive the #32 Team WRT BMW.
BMW arrives with three especially prominent line-ups. Pepper will share the #32 car with Kelvin van der Linde and Charles Weerts, while Valentino Rossi, Daniel Harper and Max Hesse will compete in the #46. ROWE Racing completes BMW’s Pro effort with Augusto Farfus, Jake Dennis and Raffaele Marciello in the #98.
Mercedes-AMG and Porsche also bring several proven endurance combinations, while Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin, Audi, Ford and Lamborghini ensure that the fight for victory remains open across the entire class.

2026 CrowdStrike 24H of Spa: Silver Cup: 17 cars create one of the largest class battles

McLaren leads the class numerically with four cars. Mercedes-AMG, Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Ferrari and Porsche also have multiple entries, while Ford completes the field with the #65 HRT Ford Racing Mustang GT3.
The Silver Cup gives young and developing drivers an opportunity to compete in one of GT racing’s most demanding events. Their challenge will extend far beyond producing fast qualifying laps. Each crew must maintain a consistent pace in traffic, cope with changing levels of grip, adapt to night-time running and avoid the incidents that can quickly end a 24-hour campaign.

What the 2026 Spa entry list tells us
The final entry list demonstrates the scale and depth of the 2026 CrowdStrike 24H of Spa.
Unlike endurance races that combine prototypes and GT cars with significantly different performance levels, every entry at Spa is built to GT3 regulations. As a result, the cars are comparatively close in outright pace, even though their driver combinations, class requirements and strategic priorities differ. That similarity creates one of the defining challenges of the event.
Pro crews fighting for the overall victory must repeatedly navigate cars from the Gold, Silver, Bronze and Pro-Am categories. Those entries may be running at slightly different speeds, following alternative pit strategies or competing directly for separate class honours.
Porsche has the greatest numerical opportunity with 15 entries, but the result will not be decided by numbers alone.
Mercedes-AMG has 11 cars and several experienced Pro crews, while BMW, Ferrari and McLaren each have eight entries spread across the classes. Aston Martin and Audi also bring substantial representation.
Lamborghini, Corvette and Ford may have smaller contingents, but each has the potential to make a significant impact. Both Lamborghini entries compete in Pro, while Corvette and Ford are represented across more than one category.
A 69-car entry list promises another unpredictable CrowdStrike 24H of Spa contest in 2026
Although the final field is one car smaller than originally announced, the 2026 CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa still brings together one of the strongest GT3 grids of the year.
The entry list includes factory drivers, former winners, endurance specialists, emerging young talents and experienced amateur competitors.
Lamborghini returns as the defending winner with a new car, but BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin, Audi and Ford all have credible Pro entries capable of fighting at the front. Further down the order, the Gold, Silver, Bronze and Pro-Am categories will produce four additional battles, each shaped by a different combination of speed, consistency, strategy and driver management.
With 69 closely matched GT3 cars sharing the 7.004-kilometre Spa-Francorchamps circuit, traffic will be a constant factor from the opening lap to the final hour.
After 24 hours of racing, the strongest entry on paper may not be the one that reaches Sunday afternoon at the front.
