IMSA - 54 cars expected on Petit Le Mans starting grid

It’s all on the line next week at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, as the 26th annual Motul Petit Le Mans closes the 2023 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season. All five competition classes – three in prototypes and two in GT3-spec cars – will be in the 10-hour race on the fast and challenging 2.54-mile road course.

Two classes boast ridiculously close points battles for the championship and a third class will be racing as part of the WeatherTech Championship for the final time. The Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class has embraced its first season with hybrid-powered cars to the fullest, with six entries still in title contention. Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2) has three cars clustered within 100 points. The Le Mans Prototype 3 (LMP3) class, meanwhile, will complete a three-year run as part of the WeatherTech Championship.

A full slate of 54 cars and nearly 160 drivers are on the pre-event entry list, wich is available HERE.
