Convalescent since crashing out at the end of March during an Alpine test session at MotorLand-Aragon, Ferdinand Habsburg was forced to withdraw from the 4 Hours of Barcelona, the 6 Hours of Imola and the 4 Hours of Le Castellet. And while we had hoped to see the Austrian back at the wheel of the #35 Alpine A424 at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, we're unfortunately going to have to be patient.

 

The entry list for the third round of the 2024 World Endurance Championship season was updated yesterday. Ferdinand Habsburg's name has been replaced by that of Jules Gounon, the French team's reserve driver who was already called up for the 6 Hours of Imola. The #35 A424 will therefore once again be driven by a 100% French crew : Jules Gounon / Paul-Loup Chatin / Charles Milesi.

➡️ The new version of the entry list for the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps can be found HERE.

The second change is simply the official announcement of the absence of Harry Tincknell, who will be at Laguna Seca, where the fourth round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship's 2024 campaign takes place over the same weekend. Julien Andlauer and Neel Jani will be on their own in the #99 Proton Competition Porsche 963, bringing to five the number of Hypercar class cars driven by two drivers line ups next weekend.
