A pre-event entry list has confirmed 47 entries across all four IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship categories for the Sportscar Weekend at Road America, on 4 August.

The eighth round of the 2024 championship schedule will host the only sprint race with all four categories racing together.

Since the Six Hours of the Glen on 23 June, the field of 10 GTP cars return to racing with the exclusion of Lamborghini Iron Lynx and their #63 SC63 LMDh which will next compete at the six-hour Indianapolis race.

The quadrant of GTP drivers who appeared at the last IMSA round at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park – Renger van der Zande, Filipe Albuquerque, Pipo Derani, and Louis Deletraz – all return to the cockpit of IMSA’s top tier prototype category.

Felipe Nasr won in last year’s event and will defend the honour in the #7 Porsche Penske 963 once again, albeit with the help of Dane Cameron, as the pair more recently took their second 2024 win at the Glen.

As a result, they extended their lead in the GTP standings to a narrow 93 points ahead of the #01 Chip Ganassi Cadillac V-Series.R duo van der Zande and Sebastien Bourdais.

The LMP2 heat still perpetuates from the Chevrolet Grand Prix which saw a new IMSA winner crowned in the category, being the #52 Inter Europol by PR1 Mathiasen Oreca duo of Nick Boulle and Tom Dillmann.

Only 12 points separate the #74 Riley Oreca 07 duo of Felipe Fraga and Gar Robinson (1308) and the second-placed #52 Oreca crew.

Era Motorsport’s Ryan Dalziel will be joined by Stewart Wiltshire once again, who made his series debut at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park event although the pair finished last in the LMP2 field, being unable to find pace and consistency to make significant track position.

Respectively after recent events, the #04 Crowdstrike Racing by APR Oreca 07 will not contest the race which would have had Colin Braun and Crowdstrike CEO George Kurtz at the wheel.

To keep the LMP2 count at 12, JDC-Miller MotorSports will enter the #79 Oreca 07 with co-drivers Gerry Kraut and Scott Andrews.

In GTD Pro, AO Racing has yet to name Laurin Heinrich’s co-driver in the #77 Porsche 911 GT3.R after they recently confirmed Seb Priaulx’s departure.

They will run with the pink dinosaur ‘Roxy’ livery, which previously featured in last year’s sprint race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course.

AO Racing leads the standings as they chase their third victory, having taken two consecutively at the sprint races held at Laguna Seca and Detroit.

After commanding last year’s event in the GTD category, Paul Miller Racing’s #1 BMW M4 GT3 will look to repeat the feat in the fully-professional category.

Conquest Racing will compete in the GTD Pro category, besides their ongoing #34 GTD entrant, with co-drivers Daniel Serra and Giacomo Altoe at the wheel of their #35 Ferrari 296 GT3.

Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports secured a healthy 1-2 finish at the CTMP and so the attention will continue to see if they can continue their form and who will challenge them for the win in the 10-car category.

GTD will have 15 entries represent a diverse 12 manufacturers, as Winward Racing’s #57 Mercedes-AMG GT3 crew of Phillip Ellis and Russell Ward lead the standings on an extraordinary 340 points ahead of the #96 Turner Motorsport BMW duo of Patrick Gallagher and Robby Foley.

Having taken victory in 2022, the #57 Mercedes-AMG crew will aim for their fifth win this year to extend their domination in GTD.

See here for the full list of entries for the 2024 IMSA Sportscar Weekend at Road America on 4 August, 8pm BST or 3pm ET.
