Toyota’s line-up remains unchanged as they will try to defend their World Championship title against its newest competitors. 

LMH manufacturers Peugeot with their 9X8 Hypercar and Ferrari with its all-new Ferrari 499P will field two cars each, while LMDh constructor Cadillac Racing will be on the the grid with one Cadillac V-LMDh prototype racer. Porsche, also an LMDh manufacturer, will be present with four cars in total. The German marque will start the season at Sebring with two factory cars, while customer teams Hertz Team Jota and Proton Competition will join the championship later on. 

Glickenhaus Racing will return as a non-hybrid manufacturer, entering a single Glickenhaus 007 in the Hypercar category. 

After facing legal troubles for naming rights last year, ByKolles will return to the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2023. The German-based team is set to enter their Vanwall Vandervell 680 under the Floyd Vanwall Racing team name. 

11 full season entries in LMP2 

United Autosports, Team WRT, and Prema will tackle the Endurance season with a two-car effort each. Joining the ranks will also be Alpine Elf Team who are stepping down to the LMP2 class as they prepare for the debut of their LMDh program in 2024.
