A total of 58 entries are set for next weekend’s Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Cadillac, the second round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup season.

Released on Wednesday, the entry list features 11 GTP cars, including the North American debut of the Lamborghini SC63, which will be driven by Andrea Caldarelli, Romain Grosjean and Matteo Cairoli.

Lamborghini Iron Lynx gave the Ligier-chassied LMDh car its first race outing in last weekend’s FIA World Endurance Championship season-opening Qatar 1812km.

It is slated to complete the Endurance Cup season, which includes the addition of an expanded six-hour Battle on the Bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this year.

The GTP class sees a handful of driver changes to the entry list since Daytona, with Fred Makowiecki joining the No. 6 Penske Porsche 963 and Julien Andlauer replacing Neel Jani in the No. 5 Proton Competition entry.

Matt Campbell has remained aboard the Rolex 24 at Daytona-winning No. 7 Porsche as its third driver.

Thirteen cars are set to do battle in LMP2, the same number of teams from January’s season-opener, with Malthe Jakobsen and Rasmus Lindh joining DragonSpeed’s lineup alongside the return of Bronze-rated Henrik Hedman, as confirmed by the team.

The No. 11 TDS Racing Oreca 07 Gibson also has a TBD for its Bronze, which was expected to be taken up by Stephen Thomas.

Charlie Eastwood, meanwhile, is set for his first start in the No. 8 Tower Motorsport Oreca.

GTD Pro will feature a dozen entries, including the continuation of Iron Lynx’s two Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2s despite the debut of the SC63 in GTP.

Franck Perera will join Jordan Pepper and Mirko Bortolotti in the No. 19 entry, while Leonardo Pulcini has been drafted into the No. 60 Lamborghini with Matteo Cressoni and Claudio Schiavoni.

Of note, SunEnergy1 Racing, which had committed to the remainder of the Endurance Cup races, is not listed despite having expected to be present.

Twenty-two entries are set to do battle in GTD, with the No. 92 Kellymoss with Riley Porsche 911 GT3 R also not entered.
