35 GT3 cars spanning eight different manufacturers will compete at this weekend’s penultimate Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup round of the season at Budapest.
The final list features one fewer entry than previously announced following the withdrawal of the #77 Attempto Racing Lamborghini Huracan, which had been scheduled to feature Davide Valsecchi and Jack Falla at the helm.
Two cars also include updated driver pairings. The #5 Phoenix Racing Audi R8 sees Nicolaj Møller Madsen now partnering Alessio Picariello, while Marco Mapelli has joined Stefan Rosina in the #16 GRT Grasser Racing Team Lamborghini.
Elsewhere, the #66 Rinaldi Racing-run Black Pearl Racing Ferrari 458 has shifted from the Pro-Am class to Am Cup after Steve Parrow was joined by fellow Bronze-graded driver Christian Hook.
First practice gets underway on Friday ahead of Saturday’s Qualifying Race and Sunday’s Main Race.
