The entry list for the 89th running of the sportscar blue ribband race was revealed today, with five cars contesting the Hypercar class, 27 in LMP2, seven in GTE Pro and 23 in the GTE Am class.
It comes after the withdrawal of the Russian-entered G-Drive Racing team prompted Le Mans organiser the ACO to reopen entries for 48 hours on Monday.
Six cars feature on the reserve list, the first of which is the High Class Racing ORECA LMP2 in which father-and-son duo Jan and Kevin Magnussen appear alongside Mark Patterson. However Kevin Magnussen's surprise return to the Haas Formula 1 team and the clashing Azerbaijan Grand Prix would make him unavailable if the car were to be granted an entry.
Second reserve is a Rinaldi Racing Ferrari in GTE Am with Pierre Ehret the only nominated driver, with reigning LMP2 Pro-Am World Endurance Championship title-winner Racing Team Nederland the third reserve with Frits van Eerd, Giedo van der Garde and Nyck de Vries.
Below is the full list, with entries in bold denoting that they are also full-season WEC participants.
