47 cars have been entered for the second round of the 2026 European Le Mans Series, the 4H Le Castellet at Circuit Paul Ricard, France.
The provisional entry list features the same cars as the opening round at Barcelona, although multiple changes have been made to the drivers who will make up the field.
At Inter Europol Competition, Luca Ghiotto has replaced Nick Yelloly, who is absent on Acura IMSA GTP duties, in the #43 ORECA 07 – Gibson LMP2. Ghiotto previously competed for the Polish squad in the ELMS for the past two seasons.
Also affected by the clash with IMSA’s Laguna Seca round is Louis Delétraz, with the 29-year-old being replaced by Jonny Edgar in the LMP2 Pro/Am-entered #99 AO by TF ORECA.
Lilou Wadoux is set to make her first appearance of the year in the #50 Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari 296 LMGT3 Evo. The Frenchwoman missed the season opener due to a clash with her GT World Challenge Europe programme.
Maxime Martin, meanwhile, has replaced Adam Christodoulou as the Pro driver in the #62 Team Qatar by Iron Lynx Mercedes-AMG LMGT3, for what is set to be the Belgian’s ELMS debut.
And the #54 High Class Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R (992.2) LMGT3 currently features a ‘TBA’ listed in its Bronze-driver slot. This seat was filled by Dennis Andersen at Barcelona. Laurin Heinrich is still listed in the #54 Porsche, but a change can be expected here, with the German scheduled to prioritise his IMSA GTP drive with JDC-Miller MotorSports.
As always, the ELMS features a strong French contingent this year, with the 4H Le Castellet therefore their home event. This includes defending LMP2 champion, and current championship leader, Forestier Racing by Panis, as well as defending Circuit Paul Ricard winner IDEC Sport.
The 2026 4H Le Castellet will be held on 1st to 3rd May 2026.
