Both drivers are currently competing with Team WRT in the Blancpain GT Series but will make a switch from Audi to Ferrari machinery for the French endurance classic.

Stevens finished second in the LMP2 class on his Le Mans debut last year with G-Drive Racing, but will be fighting for GTE-Am honors this time. 

Nineteen-year-old Vanthoor, meanwhile, will tackle La Sarthe for the first time.

This comes after the British squad was confirmed to have an upgrade to the current-generation Ferrari 488 GTE from its usual F458 Italia GTE it uses in the European Le Mans Series.

Jody Fannin and Rory Butcher are signed with JMW, alongside Smith, for the ELMS season, although Butcher will be replaced by Jonathan Cocker for this weekend’s Four Hours of Monza.
