Outgoing champions Michael Christensen and Kévin Estre will be supported by Frédéric Makowiecki and Laurens Vanthoor, winners in 2018 and 2015 respectively. The manufacturer from Zuffenhausen, who will also be able to count - among others - on KCMG, with a crazy crew : Earl Bamber-Nick Tandy-Dennis Olsen-Josh Burdon.   But it won't be an easy task, especially against the BMW M4 GT3 of Rowe Racing and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 of Team GetSpeed, both of which shone in the two qualifying races. BMW will also be able to rely on its Junior Team and Team Schubert, and Mercedes on a Team Bilstein trusting a formidable trio Marciello-Ellis-Stolz.   Audi will also be well represented with Lionspeed by Car Collection Motorsport or Team Phoenix, while Aston Martin and TF Sport will try to create the surprise with Marco Sorensen-Nicki Thiim-David Pittard-Maxime Martin.  The list of participants can be seen HERE.
