29 cars are set to run at Sebring in a collective test on March 9-10 ahead of the FIA World Endurance Championship-IMSA ‘Super Sebring’ double-header.
The provisional entry list for the two-day pre-event test has been released, with just five of the cars set to race in the WEC 1000 Miles due to sit it out.
DragonSpeed’s BR1 LMP1 and ORECA 07 LMP2 will not run, neither will the two Jackie Chan DC Racing ORECAs or the sole Corvette Racing C7.R.
DragonSpeed and JCDC will not head into the Sebring race week blind, however, as both tested at the Floridian airfield circuit privately earlier this month. Both Ford and Toyota were also present. Corvette, of course, will not take part as it has plenty of experience at Sebring to draw upon from the past two decades!
There is just one new driver name on the list, that of BMW’s John Edwards. The American driver will be bringing his considerable Sebring experience to BMW Team MTEK over the two days. He is listed against both M8 GTEs.
Also of note is that the test will be Brendon Hartley’s first official WEC event as an SMP Racing driver in LMP1. Only three of the six LMP1 cars are set to run with three drivers.
