Revised 6H Monza Entry Released

Field reduced to 36 cars

The FIA WEC has released a revised entry list for the 2023 running of the 6 Hours of Monza that will take place next month on July 7-9.

There are a handful of changes to the list since the first version was published last month.

In Hypercar, the #708 Glickenhaus 007 LMH has a complete driver line-up, with Romain Dumas confirmed to be driving alongside Olivier Pla and Nathanael Berthon. As planned, the US-flagged team returns to a single-car effort after a hugely impressive run at Le Mans which saw its 007s finish sixth and seventh overall.

The remaining alterations come in the GTE class. The major change is the withdrawal of the #98 Northwest AMR Vantage AMR, which was taken over by Heart of Racing after Paul Dalla Lana retired from racing after Portimao.

The Vantage will not make the trip to Italy because of a clash with the IMSA round at CTMP, which Heart of Racing is committed to with Aston Martin in GTD Pro and GTD.

Two TBAs remain on the list alongside Matteo Cairoli in the #56 Project 1 AO Porsche because of the IMSA clash, which means PJ Hyett and Gunnar Jeanette will not travel to Europe.

Notably, Corvette Racing’s Ben Keating is unaffected by the schedule conflict, as IMSA’s LMP2 class will not race at the Canadian circuit.

Elsewhere, at AF Corse Julien Piguet stays aboard the #21 Ferrari 488 alongside Simon Mann and Ulysse de Pauw after joining the crew at Le Mans.

And at Kessel Racing, Daniel Serra will not race as the round also clashes with a Stock Car Pro Series race meeting at Interlagos. Serra is a full-season driver with Eurofarma RC and currently sits fourth in the standings with two race wins. Kei Cozzolino will take his place in the #57.
