Notes[]
- ^ G-Drive Racing was scheduled to field an LMP2 entry,[35][9][36] but the team and driver Daniil Kvyat refused to accept the FIA's code of conduct regarding the participation of Russian competitors after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and withdrew on 6 March.[37][38] Algarve Pro Racing, who operated the G-Drive program, took over the entry independently on a race-by-race basis.[34]
