SRO have officially published the entry list for next weekend's GT World Challenge Europe (GTWC EU) Sprint Cup season opening Brands Hatch race.

The GTWC EU second round of the season is approaching rapidly, with next week's Brands Hatch weekend being also the opening race for the Sprint Cup. SRO have published a 34-car entry list, containing only minor changes when compared to the full-season entry list, which was published two months ago.

The 34 entries are split as always between the Pro, Gold and Silver classes, with Bronze class competitors absent due to Brands Hatch's capacity restrictions. In the Pro class 14 cars are entered from eight different manufacturers, with defending champions Team WRT having three BMW M4 GT3 Evos.

Aside from Team WRT, the only other team to enter more than a single Pro class entry is Emil Frey Racing, with two Ferrari 296 GT3 Evos entered, with the most notable aspect of the Pro class being that Lionspeed GP have yet to confim the two drivers for the No.80 Porsche.

The Gold class features eight cars, one up from last year's seven with the list rounded-up by 12 Silver class entries.

There we have some minor changes, as Walkenhorst Motorsport has switched the cars that each crew will drive around, with the No.34 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 now set to be driven by the pair of Jamie Day and Mateo Villagomez, whilst Maxime Robin and Gaspard Simon take over the No.35 car.

Also like Lionspeed GP beforehand, Razoon – more than racing has yet to confim which driver will partner Simon Birch in the No.914 Porsche 911 GT3 R.
