The 25 strong LMP3 field includes 24 full season entries, who are eligible for championship points, with an addition entry by Rinaldi Racing for Italian Alvise Rodella and Greek racer Stylianos Taxiarchis Kolovos. Last year’s race 2 winner Léna Bühler, who became the first female Road To Le Mans winner, will be joining her New Zealand teammate Zack Scoular for R-ace GP in 2026.
David Droux is the other former LMP3 winner on the grid, the Swiss driver winning in 2023 and will be racing this year with his regular Michelin Le Mans Cup teammate Cédric Oltramare in the no97 CLX Motorsport, the Swiss team looking for their fifth RTLM victory this year.
Barcelona winners Enzo Peugeot and Danial Frost lead the championship standings on 44 points in the no85 R-ace GP Duqueine, with Le Castellet winners Colin Queen and Giovanni Maschio just one point behind in the no50 23Events Racing Ligier.
