A total of 48 entries across five IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship classes are set for next weekend’s Battle on the Bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the penultimate round of the season.

Released on Wednesday, the entry list features ten GTP cars, seven LMP2s, nine LMP3 entries, five GTD Pros and 17 GTD cars for the two-hour and 40-minute race.

While the GTP class remains unchanged from the recent round at Road America, LMP3 sees several returning entries in Performance Tech Motorsports and MLT Motorsports with its Ligier JS P320 Nissans.

Alexander Koreiba and Connor Bloom will team up in the No. 38 Performance Tech entry, with Jason Rabe and Dakota Dickerson in MLT’s Ligier.

Lance Willsey is set to return to the No. 33 Sean Creech Motorsport Ligier, while the No. 4 Ave Motorsports Ligier will feature an all-new lineup of Pirelli GT4 America competitors Kevin Conway and John Geesbreght.

VP Racing SportsCar Challenge LMP3 points leader Bijoy Garg, meanwhile, will be joined by Guilherme de Oliveira in the No. 29 Jr III Racing Ligier.

In LMP2, both the Tower Motorsport and No. 35 TDS Racing Oreca 07 Gibsons have to-be-determined Bronze-rated drivers.

The 17-strong GTD class, meanwhile, has been boosted by a Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo entry from Lone Star Racing, although the team has yet to nominate its driver lineup.

It will be joined by Racers Edge Motorsports with WTR Andretti’s Acura NSX GT3 Evo22 of Ashton Harrison and Kyle Marcelli, who replaces Mario Farnbacher in the team’s sprint lineup.

Andretti Autosport’s Aston Martin Vantage GT3, meanwhile, is again listed although missed the last two races.
